Samuel Jones — Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

Samuel Jones is an American Folk Art artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Art Institute of Chicago.

Samuel Jones was the guy who showed up at fires just to paint the chaos. He made his name with a single, frenzied panel of Chestnut Street burning in 1819—mahogany panel, tiny brush, big smoke. Why he’s in Gallery Tiles: tap *Conflagration of the Masonic Hall* and watch a city melt in real time, no heroic poses, just glowing embers and panicked neighbors.
