James Goodwyn Clonney

– 7 October 1867, Binghamton, NY) was an English-born American genre painter and lithographer.

A number of his paintings are subtle political and social commentaries; notably those showing white and black men interacting as equals and friends.

His early works display signs of classical, academic training and cover a wide variety of subjects.

His first major work was originally called the "Fourth of July", but the title was changed to "Militia Training" after complaints that it depicted drunkenness and was not sufficiently dignified.

He also exhibited regularly in New York, although he did not participate in the art community there; favoring smaller cities as his residence.
