Herring, born in London in 1795, was the son of a London merchant of Dutch parentage, who had been born overseas in America.
The first eighteen years of Herring's life were spent in London, England, where his greatest interests were drawing and horses.
In the year 1814, at the age of 18, he moved to Doncaster in the north of England, arriving in time to witness the Duke of Hamilton's "William" win the St. Leger Stakes horserace.
By 1815, Herring had married Ann Harris.
In Doncaster, England, Herring was employed as a painter of inn signs and coach insignia on the sides of coaches,and his later contact with a firm owned by a Mr. Wood led to Herring's subsequent employment as a night coach driver.
Herring spent his spare time painting portraits of horses for inn parlors, and he became known as the "artist coachman" (at the time).
Herring's talent was recognized by wealthy customers, and he began painting hunters and racehorses for the gentry.
In 1830, John Frederick Herring, Senior left Doncaster for Newmarket, England, where he spent three years before moving to London, England.
During this time, Herring might have received tuition from Abraham Cooper.
In 1840-1841, Herring visited Paris, painting several pictures, on the invitation of the Duc d’Orleans (the Duke of Orleans), son of the French King Louis-Phillipe.
In 1845, Herring was appointed Animal Painter to HRH the Duchess of Kent, followed by a subsequent commission from the ruling Queen Victoria, who remained a patron for the rest of his life.
In 1853, Herring moved to rural Kent in the southeast of England and stopped painting horse portraits.
He then broadened his subject matter by painting agricultural scenes and narrative pictures.
A highly successful and prolific artist, Herring ranks along with Sir Edwin Landseer as one of the more eminent animal painters of mid-nineteenth century.
Herring exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1818-1865.
At the British Institution from 1830-1865, and at the Society of British Artists in 1836-1852,
where Herring became Vice-President in 1842.
