Artist Biography
Valentine Cameron Prinsep was introduced to painting by his friend George Frederick Watts. He visited Gleyre in Paris and worked there alongside Whistler and Poynter. In 1859 Prinsep did the rounds of Italy in the company of Burne-Jones, meeting Robert Browning in the process. He met Rossetti and was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite movement as a whole. His Kensington home, Little Holland House, became a meeting place for artists and writers, including Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Thackeray, Tennyson, Browning and Trollope. His own style is reminiscent of that of Leighton.
Prinsep was elected to associate membership of the Royal Academy in 1878 and to full membership in 1894. He was awarded a bronze at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1900 he was appointed Professor of Painting at the Royal Academy.

Portrait of Jesus and Sacred Heart by John Paul Chase (John Dillinger Associate)
Located in Soquel, CA
Delicate and detailed portrait of Jesus by notable outlaw John Paul Chase (American, 1901-1973). Jesus is looking directly at the viewer with a piercing gaze, holding a glowing sacred heart in his left hand. The other hand is gesturing toward the viewer, palm up, and the stigmata can be seen on his palm. Jesus is wearing a red garment with a blue cloak, the traditional symbolic colors for humanity and the heavens. It appears that this piece was painted over a previous composition.
Signed "John Paul Chase" in the lower right.
Presented in a mahogany frame with an oval opening.
Board size: 31"H x 24"W
Oval opening is 28.75" x 22" at widest points
John Paul Chase (December 26, 1901 – October 5, 1973) was an American bank robber and Depression-era outlaw, who also became an artist. John Paul Chase was born in San Francisco, California. He left grade school to work on a ranch and later became an assistant machinist in a railroad yard. In 1926, Chase was fired from the railroad and was hired as a chauffeur for a professional gambler in Reno, Nevada. He spent the next few years as a bootlegger in Sausalito, San Rafael and San Francisco but was not involved in major crime until his association with Baby Face Nelson in the early 1930s, possibly in March 1932.
It is generally agreed among crime historians that Reno was the most likely place where the two first became partners, Nelson having connections in the local underworld and frequently hid out there while in Chicago and the general Midwest.
On October 23, 1933, he and Nelson robbed their first bank together in Brainerd, Minnesota escaping with $32,000. Along the way, they picked up a number of other outlaws including Charles Fisher...
