Sir John Alfred Arnesby Brown was a landscape painter born in Nottingham in 1866. He belonged to a generation of British landscape painters who pursued the plein air ideal and were deeply influenced by the Barbizon School and French Impressionists. He was a distinguished and successful artist who was known for his atmospheric landscapes, often depicting scenes from the area around Haddiscoe in Norfolk where he lived. His work often presents a timeless, naturalistic view of the countryside, but after 1905 he also became interested in painting the industrial landscape, particularly the rail yards and brickworks around Kings Lynn.

Brown studied at Nottingham, under Andrew McCallum and later at Bushey School of Art in Hertforshire under Hubert von Herkomer before moving to St. Ives. After exhibiting at the Royal Academy for the first time in 1890, he became an elected Associate in 1903. In 1896, he married Mia Edwards (1870–1931). They lived St Ives, Cornwall and summered in Norfolk. Brown was knighted in 1938 for his services to the nation's art.
