Hanes
Samuel Maurice Jones (1853-1932) was a landscape painter, who exhibited in many of the major art galleries, and was an early product of public art education in Wales.
He was born at Mochdre in Denbighshire, the fourth child of the Rev. John Jones, Calvinistic Methodist minister, and Hannah, his wife. He trained under John Cambrian Rowland at the Caernarfon School of Art, before proceeding to London, where he studied from 1870 to 1873 under William Collingwood, Associate of the Society of Painters in Watercolours. He was a founding member of the Royal Cambrian Academy, and, in 1882, he became the first Welsh-born Academician to be granted an Associate Membership. He was prominent in launching a campaign in the Welsh language on behalf of visual culture, a campaign which remained close to his heart throughout his life.
Samuel Maurice Jones died in Llandudno in 1932.
