Jacob More

He studied landscape and decorative painting with James Norie's firm.

He took the paintings of Gaspard Dughet and Claude Lorrain as his models.

By 1773 More had settled in Rome, and spent the rest of his life there; nevertheless, in the 1780s he managed to send Italian landscapes back to England for annual exhibitions at the Royal Academy in London.

In Italy he rivalled Jacob Philipp Hackert; and he befriended Allan Ramsay (1713-1784).

In Rome he enjoyed a high reputation, and was commissioned to design an 'English' garden in the grounds of the Villa Borghese.
