John Anthony Park (1880-1962) was a painter of seascapes and harbour scenes in Cornwall. Born in Preston, Lancashire, he moved to St Ives in 1899 and studied there under the seascape specialist Julius Olsson and in Paris at Atelier Colarossi. There he was exposed to the French impressionists who were to have a lasting impact upon his colour palette and paint handling.

Park is best known for his impressionistic depictions of St Ives and was a committed plein-air painter. He favoured views across the harbour, relishing the opportunity offered by the effects of light on choppy water. His pictures frequently capture the sparkle of sunlight on the water, the multi-coloured hulls of boats and the elegant lines of sailing yachts.

Park was a founding member of the St Ives Society of Artists in 1927 and remains one of its best-known artists. Park exhibited work at the Royal Academy between 1905-49 and was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Chelsea Arts Club.

The Tate, Manchester Art Gallery and Salford Museum Gallery hold works by the artist.
