Julius Caesar Ibbetson was known mainly as a landscape and marine painter. He worked for a London picture dealer as a young man and first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1785. Three years later he visited China and on his return he began to establish a reputation for his coastal and rustic scenes. However, tragedy struck him in 1794 with the death of his wife and the quick successive deaths of eight of his children. He fell into deep depression, drinking and debt but recovered sufficiently to have his book 'An Accidence or Gamut of Painting', which featured four of his etchings, published in 1803. He was by then living in his native village, Masham in Yorkshire, where he was to spend his last years painting.
