Sir Nathaniel Bacon

Sir Nathaniel Bacon

Sir Nathaniel Bacon (c. 1640-1676) was a wealthy landowner from Suffolk, England.

Bacon was an exceptionally skillful amateur painter. Only a small group of his paintings survive. He was particularly known for his kitchen and market scenes, dominated by still-life depictions of large vegetables and fruit, often accompanied by a buxom maid. The most well known of which being "The Cookmaid with Still Life of Vegetables and Fruit" (Tate Gallery London). This predilection for cook or market scenes is much more common among Dutch and Flemish painters, see for example Joachim Beuckelaer (1533–1574).

Bacon is credited with the first known British landscape. He was knighted K. B. ["Concise Dictionary of National Biography"] in 1625. He died at the age of 42.

He was the son of Sir Nicholas Bacon, 1st Baronet [ [http://www.thepeerage.com/p12841.htm#i128408 thePeerage.com - Person Page 12841 ] ] .
