John Alexander Gresse (1741-1794) was an English draughtsman, painter, and engraver. Born in London, Gresse studied drawing under Gerard Scotin, and was one of the first students to work in the gallery of casts founded by the Duke of Richmond. In 1777, he was appointed drawing-master to the Royal Princesses. He occasionally practised etching, publishing 'St. Jerome' after Guido, and 'A Satyr Sleeping' after Poussin. Gresse was also a great collector of works of art, and an auction of his collection shortly after his death lasted for six days.
