John Rathbone, born 1750, was a spirited English landscape painter who exhibited extensively at London’s Royal Academy (RA).

Born in Cheshire, very little is known about Rathbone’s formative years, but according to several sources, it’s apparent that he was predominantly self-taught. During the second half of the 18th century, landscape painting was largely overlooked in Britain and, as such, it was exceedingly difficult to find a tutor who worked at a proficient level. Indeed, even in John Constable’s heyday, he was desperately underrated. One can imagine young Rathbone wandering into the ample Cheshire countryside, clutching pencils and watercolours, with little motivation aside from nature herself.

Today, he’s represented in numerous public collections, including at the British Museum, V&A Museum, Yale University Art Gallery, National Trust, Art Institute of Chicago, and Brooklyn Museum.
