Arthur Nowell (British, 1862-1940) was born at Garndiffath, near Pontypool, and was the youngest of six children born to the Rev. John Nowell and his wife Mary. He attended the Manchester School of Art and was the first pupil from any of the provincial art schools to gain admission to the Royal Academy Schools, where he won the Turner Prize, a Gold Medal and a travelling scholarship, enabling him to study in Paris and visit Venice. He was guided and encouraged by Waterhouse, Burne-Jones and Watts, among others. He had a particular aptitude for portrait painting, his first commission, at the age of 17, being the Rev. Charles Garrett. Many commissions followed his painting of William C. Jackson, then Governor of Didsbury College. He observed in 1926, 'I suppose I may claim to have painted more Wesleyans, ministerial and lay, than any living artist.' Sir George Hayter Chubb commissioned a portrait of himself for The Leys School (along with those of two of the headmasters, W.T.A. Barber and Harry Bisseker) and this led to his painting King George V for the school. Another portrait of the King, together with portraits of Queen Mary, T.R. Ferens and Chubb himself are at Farringtons School.
