John Reinhard Weguelin (23 June 1849 – 28 April 1927)

English painter and illustrator, active from 1877 to after 1910. He specialized in figurative paintings with lush backgrounds, typically landscapes or garden scenes. Weguelin emulated the neo-classical style of Edward Poynter and Lawrence Alma-Tadema, painting subjects inspired by classical antiquity and mythology. He depicted scenes of everyday life in ancient Greece and Rome, as well as mythological subjects, with an emphasis on pastoral scenes. Weguelin also drew on folklore for inspiration, and painted numerous images of nymphs and mermaids. Weguelin was particularly noted for his realistic use of light. (Wikipedia)

Weguelin, who was respected both as a painter and an illustrator, is known for his classical and traditionalist subject matter which was often inspired by his master E.J. Poynter and also by the work of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Weguelin illustrated Hans Andersen's classic The Little Mermaid in 1893 and, as seen by the work offered above, the subject of the Mermaid was one he returned to throughout his career.
