John Joseph Cotman (1814–1878) was an English landscape painter, the son of John Sell Cotman.
Life
Cotman was born in 1814 at Southtown, Great Yarmouth. He was sent to work for his uncle, a haberdasher, but spent much of his time making sketches in the countryside. When his father was appointed drawing-master at Kings College School in London in 1834, Cotman accompanied him to the capital, but later returned to Norwich to take over his brother Miles Edmund Cotman's teaching work there.
Cotman worked mostly in watercolour, painting, unlike his brother, in a rather loose, free manner.
He died in Norwich in 1878.[1]
