Brief Biography-John Linnell was from Bloomsbury in central London. He began drawing when he was a young child, and by 1802 he was selling chalk portraits. Benjamin West was his initial tutor, followed by a year with John Varley and associate student William Mulready before enrolling in the Royal Academy. He made a living by doing engravings and miniature paintings; however, his later work mainly was of landscapes for which he was primarily known. His paintings achieved high prices, and he settled in Surrey for the remainder of his life and was a good friend and supporter of William Blake until he died in 1882. |
