John Feary

c. 1745 - 1788

John Feary was a British landscape painter.

Feary obtained a premium from the Society of Arts in 1766, for artists under age 21. It was for a drawing from the Duke of Richmond's gallery. In 1776 he was awarded a large silver pallet for a landscape. He was reportedly a pupil of Richard Wilson. His landscapes were neatly finished, and he was employed to paint views of the parks and mansions of the nobility and gentry, some of which have been engraved. In 1784 he made a tour of Derbyshire.
