Meynell, Everard Henry Edward Manning, 1882-1926

Born: 1882. Died: 1926.
The earliest pupil found by Iris Green to be accepted into the Forbes School of Painting in 1900, Meynell subsequently became a writer rather than a painter. Everard was one of the children of Alice and Wilfred Meynell, the former of which wrote illustrated articles about Newlyn and its artist colony in the Art Journal (see Hardie 2009 for reprints) of 1889.

Meynell wrote “The Life of Francis Thompson”(1913), “Corot and His Friends”(1908), and “Giovanni Bellini”(1905). In November 1908 he married the vocalist Grazia Carbone. Together they had four children: Joan (1909–1983), Alice (1911–2008), Wilfrid (1913–1995), and Vivian (1916–2011). Everard died on January 7, 1926 in Genoa Italy.
