This is a list of missing biographies of artists (i.e. painters) from the Dictionary of National Biography.
- Please put a tick (i.e. {{tick}}) just to the right of the bullet, when the biography is present. (Please don't remove blue link entries.) See for example Peter Toms (painter) under T.
- Links are given to the Your Paintings site wherever possible, which is about half the time.
- The initial list is entirely from DNB biographies written by Lionel Cust (see s:Author:Lionel Henry Cust). There is scope for more, by using other DNB authors.
- Some dates and names have been changed in line with the modern Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
- Some searches are at /wikidata.
