Biography
John White Abbott An Italianate Landscape, 1800
John White Abbott was born on 13 May 1763 at Cowick near Exeter, Devon. He came from a wealthy family, which owned many estates in Exeter, one of which he inherited in 1825.[1]
Abbott exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and his oil paintings are well known but he also created many watercolours. He had a series of etchings of his paintings created which was nearly complete at the time of his death. It seems that Abbott never sold a painting, and most of his works were retained by his family until well into the 20th century.[2]
