I am new to this site, but have become extremely interested in the Ripper crimes since the reading of Patricia Cornwell's book "Jack the Ripper: Case Closed". Although Cornwell, has not completely convinced me, i believe her theory has some merit. I have written this to point out something that i have found browsing through photographs of Sickert's art. Although his infamous "Ripper Paintings" did not start until 20 years after the spree, i have found that in each of his paintings shortly following the murders that i have seen, you can find a figure in the shadows or somewhere in the paintings (unnoticed by the other characters in the paintings i might add)of a figure resembling the description of JTR. I thought this was interesting and I wanted to submit it to see what you all thought, having studied this subject more than I. |

Hi Chad,
I would recommend you read other books on the subject to see how convincing any theory can seem. I found this when I fist became interested in the case.
As for Patricia Cornwell, I doubt very much you will find much support for her theory here. However, the point you note about paintings is interesting,
regards
Jennifer

Hi Chad!
You are correct. There are small figuers hidden in some of Sickerts paintings and drawings, most notably the small running man in "Patrol".
Most offen it is a young man dressed in black with a hat. He wears it indoors too.

Is there any place on the net where I can see that painting (Patrol)?
