John Appleton Brown (1844–1902) was an American painter born in Newburyport Mass. He studied in Boston under Benjamin C. Porter and afterward under Emile Lambinet in Paris. In 1891 he established his studio in New York City and the following year became a member of the Society of American Artists. He was elected to the National Academy in 1896. His last picture exhibited at the Society in 1902 The Grain Field was a typical example of his delicate personal handling of color.
