John Rising was an English portrait painter active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was born in 1753 and became known for his portraits of prominent figures, particularly in academic and medical circles. Rising studied at the Royal Academy in London, where he developed his skills and later exhibited his work. He gained recognition for painting several leading intellectuals of his time, including members of the medical profession. Among his most notable works are portraits of William Hunter and William Cumberland Cruikshank. His style followed the conventions of British portraiture of the period, focusing on clear likeness and restrained composition rather than dramatic effect.
