John Gendall, 1789-1865
Biographical notes:
John Gendall (1789-1865), artist, was brought from Devon to London by Sir John Soane. In the city he worked for Rudolph Ackermann (1764-1834) as a manager, a developer of the new art of lithography, and an illustrator of publications. His sketching tour of Normandy was published as 'Picturesque tour of the Seine from Paris to the Sea'. After leaving Ackermann's, he moved back to Devon and occupied premises in Cathedral Yard, Exeter. He continued to paint in Exeter, and exhibited works at the Royal Academy from 1846 until his death on 1 March 1865.
