Cork, Hovenden was orphaned at the age of six and thus reared in a local orphanage. At 14 years of age he was apprenticed to a Cork frame-maker by the name of Tolerton, for whom, according to Strickland, he served seven years and afterwards served worked as a journeyman.' His artistic training began at the School of Art in Cork, where he was an acclaimed early student of James Brenan, and was furthered from 1863 to c.1875 at the prestigious National Academy of Design in New York. By 1875 he had left America in preference for France, settling in the flourishing artist's community at Pon Avon, Brittany. Whilst his work was omitted from the seminal Irish Impressionism exhibition of 1984, Anne Crookshank and the Knight of Glin have surmised that he probably spent time in contact with Aloysius O'Kelly and Augustus Nicholas Burke (Ireland's Painters 1600-1940, p.260). His work may be found in the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum, New York. See Strickland, Vol. I, p.528. For further reading see: A. G. Terhune, P.
