Wootton, John
Wootton, John (
b Snitterfield, Warwickshire,
c.1682;
d London, 13 Nov. 1764). English landscape and sporting painter. He is best known for pictures involving horses, with which he made a handsome living, but his main contribution to British painting was the introduction of the
ideal landscape— Horace
Walpole said his works in this vein ‘approached towards Gaspar Poussin [i.e.
Dughet], and sometimes imitated happily the glow of
Claude Lorrain’. His landscape manner was continued by George
Lambert. There are examples of Wootton's work in Tate Britain and other public collections, but many of his finest paintings are still in private hands—notably at Althorp, Northamptonshire, and Longleat, Wiltshire.
