(1782-1842) English landscape painter. With John Crome, he was a founder of the Norwich School. His early watercolors were bold designs in simple flat washes of color, for example Greta Bridge, Yorkshire about 1805 (British Museum, London).
He studied in London, was one of Dr Monro’s protégés, and exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1800–06, early watercolors made in Yorkshire, for example Greta Bridge (British Museum) being among the classics of the art. He returned to Norwich 1807, worked there and at Yarmouth as drawing master, and with Crome was a leader of the “Norwich School”. His appointment as drawing master at King’s College, London 1834 lightened a constant burden of financial difficulties. In the simplification of design to broad, expressively silhouetted areas, he was highly original and unlike any of his contemporaries. Time spent on drawing antiquities for his patron in Norfolk, Dawson Turner, was largely wasted, and his later work is unequal, but it included oil-paintings in his own distinct manner as well as some masterly drawings. Of his two painter sons, Joseph John (1814–78) and Miles Edmund (1810–58), the latter is the more distinguished for his river and sea views.
