Portrait of John Sydney Taylor oil on board, 1842, 76 x 54 cm John Sydney Taylor (1795-1841) was an Irish lawyer and journalist who worked with William Etty to save the screen at York Minster, writing articles denouncing the proposed removal and 'restoration' of the screen and took legal action to save it. He took similar action to save the Lady Chapel of St. Saviour's Southwark and St. Alban's Abbey Church. Taylor was educated at Trinity College Dublin and was a prominent member of their debating society. Taylor died in 1841. The painting is in good condition for its age, with some predictable fading and general wear.
