Artist

J. Asperne

J. Asperne is a Romanticism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Jasper Asperne spent his days running errands for the East India Company, but in the evenings he slipped into a print shop to make tiny etchings of London streets. The Beard Print Collection shows us a city that’s noisy and alive, where lamplighters and poultry sellers crowd the page. Why he matters: tap into any of these prints to see a street corner that looks familiar—but the details feel like a secret.
