Early life and family

John Collingham Moore was born in Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. He was one of the 14 children of the artist William Moore of York, who in the first half of the 19th century enjoyed a considerable reputation in the north of England as a painter of portraits and landscape. Amongst his brothers were the artists, Albert Joseph Moore and Henry Moore.

In 1858, the three brothers moved to Italy in both oils and watercolour. He sent paintings of Rome and the Roman Campagna back to England, where they were exhibited in the Dudley Gallery's summer exhibitions in London. They lived together at Kensington in Middlesex (now Greater London).
