(1735 - 1807)
Amos Green was born in Halesowen, Shropshire. His brothers Benjamin (c.1739-1798) and John (active 1758) were engravers. He was apprenticed to John Baskerville and painted fruit and flower still-lifes in the manner of Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer and Jan van Huysum. He took up residence with the wealthy Deane family of Hagley, Birmingham, and exhibited at the Society of Artists (1760-65) from his Birmingham address, before moving with Anthony Deane to Bergholt in Suffolk, then Clifton near Bristol and finally to Bath, where they remained for several years. In 1796, he married Harriet Lister of York. They settled in Castle Hill, York. In 1806, they purchased a second property in Ambleside, where Green opened an exhibition. He died in York in 1807.
