Nathan Theodore Fielding (fl. 1775–1814), was an English painter.
Fielding was a native of Yorkshire, and lived near Halifax. He had a considerable local reputation, and was especially noted for his portraits of aged people in the style ofBalthasar Denner, with attention to the wrinkles of the skin and expression of the eyes. He later went to London, and occasionally exhibited at the exhibitions of the Society of Artists and the British Institution. To the latter he sent in 1812 The Botanist, with a Nondescript Fern, and A Moonlight Seacoast. In 1814 he exhibited for the last time, sending A Landscape – Morning.
In 1801 he published a print of St. George's Church, Doncaster, which was aquatinted by his son Theodore. There is a panoramic view of Stamford, Lincolnshire, entitled Hay Harvest at Stamford painted in oils by Fielding in c1780 in the Peterborough Museum collection. He occasionally etched, notably a portrait of Elias Hoyle of Sowerby in Yorkshire, at the age of 113, in 1793. Fielding had five sons, all artists, including Theodore Henry Adolphus, Antony Vandyke Copley, Thales, and Newton Smith Fielding.
