JOHN LINNELL (1792-1882), English painter, was born in London on the 16th of June 1792.
His father being a carver and gilder, Linnell was early brought into contact with artists, and when he was ten years old he was drawing and selling his portraits in chalk and pencil.
Linnell was able to command very large prices for his pictures, and about 1850 he purchased a property at Redhill, Surrey, where he resided till his death on the 10th of January 1882, painting with unabated power till within the last few years of his life.

John Linnell made his reputation as a landscape painter, but he was also a very important patron to Blake.
Linnell was bought up in reasonable affluence and he was able to study as a young man under Benjamin West.
Linnell had always been an enthusiastic supporter of etching and engraving as media, but very few of his own prints express his pastoral vision, which was so close to that of Palmer.

John Linnell was born in London, the son of a woodcarver and picture dealer and started copying paintings when he was eight years old.
Linnell became a brilliant sketcher and painted in both watercolours and oils, but gave up portrait painting to concentrate on landscape painting in 1847.
In this painting Linnell presents his vision of country life and nature - as an ideal and sentimental vision unrelated to the harsh realities of a rural existence in the mid-nineteenth century.

 ART; JOHN LINNELL: PORTRAITS AND LANDSCAPES - New York Times
VISITORS to the John Linnell show at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven might suppose initially that the artist is yet another star in the golden age of English landscape.
But Linnell (1792-1882), being 20 or more years younger than Turner, Constable and the lesser stars and passing his formative years in an England cut off from the Continent by war, is really another proposition entirely.
Linnell, says Miss Crouan, was a strong believer in ''the supremacy of the individual,'' and found ''the congregation of artisans and tradesmen a sympathetic social group and a large potential market for portraits.'' How it squared with the distaste for graven images (popery) central to hard-core British Protestantism can only be conjectured.

John Linnell trained under the Royal Academy schools from 1805 where, although at this time he painted just portraits and watercolours, his true passion for landscapes is identifiable in the backgrounds of his portraits.
Linnell was a friend and patron of Blake, and was one of the first to recognize his genius, but he also was, like Blake, strongly religious.
Linnell's paintings are easily recognizable because of his particularly distinctive, and powerfully contrived style.

From 1807 Linnell was a regular contributor of landscape and portrait paintings at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and the Society of Painters in Watercolours.
Linnell's commitment to landscape painting as a spiritual art profoundly influenced the visionary early work of his pupil and future son-in-law, Samuel Palmer (1805-1881).

 handprint : samuel palmer
By 1822 he had met the wealthy, overbearing and hyperreligious oil landscape painter John Linnell (1792-1882), who took him to meet William Blake in 1824; Palmer was deeply impressed by Blake's woodcut illustrations to Thornton's edition of The Pastorals of Virgil.
He married Linnell's daughter Hannah in 1837, and spent two years in Italy perfecting his drawing and painting in a topographical style; but on return to London he settled into a wearying and unremunerative routine as a drawing master to untalented pupils, relieved by trips for landscape painting to Devon, Cornwall and North Wales.
The honeymoon served to distance the couple from the overbearing and quarrelsome Linnell, and also to afford Palmer the opportunity to perfect a new style of painting, based on intense naturalism and careful rendering of detail.

At least as significant and notable as Linnell’s own artistic work, however, were his activities as a patron and adviser to other artists.
Although the two men later fell out, Linnell was an important influence on Palmer early on in his career, and he was later to record in a notebook “… by the time I had practised for about five years I entirely lost all feeling for art … But it pleased God to send Mr.

Linnell recorded this view at his most revolutionary moment: the period immediately following his move (in 1811) to an area of London surrounded by open fields, when he acquired a camera obscura, converted to a nonconformist Christian sect, and, influenced by William Paley's Natural Theology (1802), sought direct proof of God's creation in the landscape.
For Linnell, the meticulous representation of nature became a moral imperative.
To achieve it, he developed a distinctive technique, involving small touches of pure color, that anticipates the work of his protégé and son-in-law Samuel Palmer and, ultimately, the paintings of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

 Evening, Storm Clearing Off, Somerset by John Linnell, 1792-1882
The picture Evening, Storm Clearing Off is referred to twice in Linnell's journals (now in the possession of a descendant of the artist), on 1 May 1818, presumably when it was begun; and on March 1819, when Linnell was still working on it.
In this relatively early landscape by Linnell the balanced proportions of the landscape contrast with the spectacular and beautifully painted lights in the sky to create a fusion of classical and romantic landscape elements.

Blake advertised these books and other engravings for sale in a prospectus of 1793, but at such low cost that he lived in near poverty during these years, suffering from chronic nervous anxieties, alternating bouts of irritability and grandiosity, and a growing reputation as a dilatory, unreliable worker and a religious crank.
Linnell introduced Blake to John Varley and John Constable, and formed (with Samuel Palmer and other artists) a small brotherhood of Blake admirers called "The Ancients." Blake was working on Linnell's commission to illustrate Dante's Divine Comedy when he died at home in 1827, at age 70.
Throughout his career, Blake used watercolors to tint the illustrations and text of his engraved books, which he made by etching away the whites of the copper plate rather than the inked areas (not unlike the method used in woodblock printing).

Serving as an opposite setting from Chelsea, artists set up "exotic studio-houses" in Kensington and made the area a high society showplace to display their work to the public.
