Nathaniel Bacon (1585 - 1627)
Painter. "A tiny Landscape, painted on copper, bearing the conjoined monogram NB (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford), is thought to be the 'small Landskip drawn by Sir Nath. Bacon' listed in the Tradescant Collection in 1656 (Musaeum Tradescantianum, 1656, 40). If so it is the first known pure landscape by an English-born artist" (ODNB). He was the grandson of Lord Keeper Bacon (1510–1579) and the youngest son of Sir Nicholas Bacon (c. 1543–1624), who was half-brother to Sir Francis Bacon. He is named as a benefactor in Musaeum Tradescantianum, and it is likely he donated his landscape himself.
