Biography:

Amos Green (1735–1807) was a British painter. He was born at Halesowen, near Birmingham, where his family owned a small property, and was apprenticed to Baskerville, the Birmingham printer. He was chiefly occupied in painting trays and boxes, but soon developed a love of painting and drawing. His specialty lay in flower and fruit pieces, some of the former being imitations of Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer and Jan van Huysum. Later in life he took to landscape painting with some success.
