James Curnock (1812-1862) was an English portrait painter renown in Bristol for his formal portraits of local dignitaries. His portraits were both of the traditional Victorian approach and the Romantic style.
James Curnock lived in the Clifton area of Bristol and in 1837 he married Sarah Cuerock. They had a daughter, Isabel, in the same year, followed by James Jackson in 1839, Edith in 1845 and Alice in 1851. His son, James Jackson Curnock went on to become a famous landscape painter focusing his pictures, particularly on Wales and the south west of England. James Curnock died in Bristol in 1862.
