BiographyJulius Caesar Ibbetson, the elder was born in Leeds, December 29, 1759 and died in Masham, N. Yorks., October 13, 1817.Ibbetson's emulation of seventeenth-century Dutch landscape painting led Benjamin West to call him "the Berghem of England." Following his apprenticeship to a ship painter in Hull, Ibbetson moved to London in 1777 and began exhibiting small-scale landscapes at the Royal Academy in 1785. He was personal draftsman to Col. Charles Cathcart on the first British Mission to Beijing between 1787 and 1788. Returning to England after Cathcart's death, Ibbetson settled in the north, first in Liverpool and then in Masham, North Yorkshire. He continued his landscape practice and also published the treatise Painting in Oil in 1803.
