Jenner came to Brisbane in 1883 and in October was writing to the government suggesting the need for a public art gallery. He and R. Godfrey Rivers founded the Royal Queensland Art Society with which Jenner exhibited from 1884 to 1913 [posthumously from 1902 onwards]. He died in Melbourne in 1895 according to Adlington, 1902 according to Cooke.
