精通美柔汀肖像與機構管理
約翰·揚（John Young）是美柔汀版畫家，也是英國藝術學會的保管人，生於1755年，師從約翰·拉斐爾·史密斯。他成為一位非常能幹的版畫家，專門從事美柔汀技法，並根據霍普納、勞倫斯、佐法尼等人的畫作，製作了約八十幅當代人物的肖像版畫，此外還根據莫蘭、霍普納、佩伊等人的作品製作了一些題材性版畫。他最出色的版畫作品是根據莫蒂默的原作製作的布勞頓與史蒂文森之間的拳擊比賽。1789年，他被任命為威爾士親王的美柔汀版畫家。1813年，揚接替瓦倫丁·格林擔任英國藝術學會的保管人，這是一個艱鉅的職位，他以始終如一的機智和效率勝任此職，直至去世。 He was honorary secretary of the Artists' Benevolent Fund from 1810 to 1813, and then transferred his services in the same capacity to the rival body, the Artists' General Benevolent Institution. He died at his house in Upper Charlotte Street, Fitzroy Square, London, on 7 March 1825. Young published in 1815 "Portraits of the Emperors of Turkey from the Foundation of the Monarchy to the year 1808", thirty plates printed in colours, with English and French text; and between 1821 and 1825 a series of catalogues, illustrated with etchings by himself, of the Grosvenor, Leicester, Miles, Angerstein, and Stafford galleries.
