John Curtis (fl. 1790–1797) was an English landscape painter.[1]

Career

[edit]

John Curtis was a pupil of William Marlow at Twickenham. In 1790 he exhibited at the Royal Academy A View of Netley Abbey, and was an occasional exhibitor in the following years. In 1797 he departed from his usual style, exhibiting a picture of the Indefatigable and Amazon frigates under Sir Edward Pellew engaging Les Droits de l'Homme, a French seventy-four. Nothing is known of his subsequent career. Some of his views were engraved.[2]
