EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of John David Jenkins, painted by William Holman Hunt in 1852, transports us back to the era of the Oxford Movement. This movement, characterized by its high Anglican and Anglo-Catholic beliefs, sought to revive traditional practices within the Church of England. In this remarkable print, we see Jenkins portrayed as a distinguished figure in his cassock and surplice. As a Welsh clergyman known as "The Rail-men's Apostle" he dedicated himself to ministering to railway workers and their families. The commission for this painting came from Thomas Combe, another supporter of the Oxford Movement. Now residing in the Senior Common Room at Jesus College, New College Cloisters provides an atmospheric backdrop for this evocative portrait. The Gothic architecture adds depth and symbolism to the image, reflecting both Jenkins' religious calling and his affiliation with the Brotherhood. Hunt's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he captures not only Jenkins' physical appearance but also his devotion and piety. Through this masterful work, we glimpse into Victorian England's religious landscape—a time when faith played a central role in society. This print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It invites us to reflect on an influential period within English religious history while celebrating one man's commitment to serving others through his ministry.
