As the son of a carver and gilder, he came into contact with art at an early age. Already at the age of 10 Linnell earned his money by selling portraits with chalk and pencil. His father James Thomas Linnell capitalized on his son's talent and had him make copies of paintings by painters like George Morlan, which he sold at a profit. At the age of 13 John Linnell was finally accepted at the Royal Academy School. He was taught by Benjamin West and later by John Varley, whose students at this time included William Hunt and William Mulready. Linnell was a versatile artist who mastered watercolor and oil painting as well as engraving.
Soon Linnell had built a reputation as a portrait painter. Portraiture accounted for most of his income. He was in great demand among the clergy and the nobility. But his deep passion was always for landscape painting. From the 1840s, after almost 30 years as a portraitist, Linnell finally turned exclusively to landscape painting. Although many of his landscape scenes also depicted people and were sometimes titled, such as "Sermon of St. John", "Wheat" or "Journey to Emmanus", people seemed to be rather unimportant. Linnell concentrated much more on the representation of the sky and the surrounding landscape. The paintings often showed unagitated English landscapes. But the paintings were enchanting nevertheless, because Linnell liked to decorate his paintings with sunrises or sunsets. These light conditions ultimately made his works so special. In his spare time, Linnell studied the Bible in the Orignial, wrote commentaries on it and composed poems. He was an admirer of the European Renaissance, especially Albrecht Dürer.
John Linnell was married to Mary Palmer, the eldest daughter of a chapel treasurer. The couple had nine children. His son, Thomas Linnell, also became a successful landscape painter and learned much from his father's work. Linnell was very sympathetic to young artists. Thus he was one of the most important promoters of William Blake and energetically supported him and gave him his first commissions. He is also said to have been a supporter of the Pre-Raphaelites Holman Hunt, Rosetti and Millais when the movement was still struggling with strong resistance. He also took his future son-in-law, Samuel Palmer, under his wing when he was 17 years old. However, the initially good relationship between the two is said to have become increasingly strained later on.
