BIOGRAPHY:
A late 19th and 20th century British painter in realist style of horses and dogs, especially in hunting scenes, John Emms began exhibiting his paintings at the Royal Academy of London in 1866. He was born in Blofield, Norfolk, and had a strong interest in art, which took him to London for study. There he became studio assistant fo Frederick Leighton, later Lord Leighton, and in this capacity traveled to New Forest in Lyndhurst to do a fresco, The Ten Virgins, for the local church.
