George Morland (26 June 1763 in London – 29 October 1804 in Brighton) was an English painter.
His early work was influenced by Francis Wheatley but after the 1790s he came into his own style.
His best compositions focus on rustic scenes: farms and hunting; smugglers and gypsies; and rich, textured landscapes informed by Dutch Golden Age painting.
