(1747 - c.1814)
Nathan Theodore Fielding was born in Sowerby, near Halifax, Yorkshire. In 1780 he married Elizabeth Baker in Rochdale, Lancashire, and the couple went on to have six children, all of whom would become artists. Fielding moved to London by 1788 and exhibited at the Society of Artists and the British Institution from 1791 to 1814. He was particularly known for his carefully studied portraits of elderly people. He moved to Keswick in the Lake District by 1800. With this move to the countryside, the subjects of Fielding’s work shifted towards landscape. He moved again to Liverpool between 1807 and 1809 and died about ten years later, in his early 70s.
