John Reinhard Weguelin (1849-1927) was a Victorian Artist and illustrator active between about 1870-1900. He interpreted the neo-classical style of Edward Poynter and Lawrence Alma-Tadema in watercolour. He specialized in this medium in the 1890s, a technically interesting, but financially dubious decision: however he supplemented his income by illustrating translations of classical texts, such as the Lays of Ancient Rome by Lord Macaulay.
