1682-1764
Wootton was one of the earliest English supporters of landscape painting in the style of Claude and Poussin. He combined his landscapes with horse paintings, hunting scenes, and sporting conversation pieces which appealed greatly to the country gentry. From 1720 the influence of Gaspar Poussin became stronger. His paintings are in the National Gallery and the Tate in London as well as in provincial museums. One of his pupils was Lambert (see below).

Lambert was an early English landscape painter who studied under Wootton and imiteated both him and his model Poussin. He painted the landscapes of his friend Hogarth's large religious paintings in Bartholomew's Hospital, London. Other works in London are in the National Gallery and the Tate.
