A Welsh Bohemian: The Life and Art of Augustus Edwin John Augustus Edwin John emerged as a pivotal figure in early 20th-century British art, a painter whose life was as vibrant and unconventional as the canvases he produced. Born in Tenby, Wales, on January 4, 1878, his artistic journey began under the nurturing influence of his mother, who instilled in him a love for drawing from a young age. This early encouragement led him to the Tenby School of Art at seventeen, where his natural aptitude quickly became apparent.

A chart of Augustus Edwin John's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
