From Free net encyclopedia

Image:John Sell Cotman 002.jpg John Sell Cotman (May 16, 1782 - July 28, 1842), was a painter of the Norwich school and an associate of John Crome. He was born in Norwich and worked mainly in watercolour, but also produced architectural engravings. He spent virtually all his life in Norfolk, apart from three trips to Normandy financed by rich patrons.

His sons, Miles Edward Cotman and John Joseph Cotman, also became painters of note.

The British Museum in London, England has a permanent display of some of Cotmans works, as does the Norwich Castle Museum, in Norwich. Cotman has also given his name to a range of artist's materials.
