John Wesley Attending a Deathbed
1800-1850 / John Wesley / Oil on Canvas/Board / Painting / Portrait
Oil on canvas
Unidentified artist, c. 1840
This fragment of a painting depicts a somewhat romanticised John Wesley attending a dying patient. The painting was executed around the 100th anniversary of Wesley's conversion and the opening of the Foundery Chapel, a time when Methodism was growing sharply.
At some point in the painting's past it was overlaid with tissue paper, which has fused with paint.
