'''John Daniel Bond''' (1725 – 18 December 1803) was an English painter. One of the earliest figures in the history of [art in Birmingham](/source/Art_of_Birmingham), he was the first of the [Birmingham School](/source/Birmingham_School_(landscape_artists)) of [landscape artists](/source/landscape_artists).<ref name="Grant">{{Citation|last=Grant|first=Maurice Harold|year=1958|title=A chronological history of the old English landscape painters, in oil, from the 16th century to the 19th century|location=Leigh-on-Sea|publisher=F.

==Life and career==
Bond was baptised in [Stroud](/source/Stroud), [Gloucestershire](/source/Gloucestershire) in July 1725 and probably educated at [The Crypt School](/source/The_Crypt_School) in [Gloucester](/source/Gloucester), where his uncle was an usher.<ref name="DNB">{{Citation|last=Grindle|first=Nicholas|year=2004|contribution=Bond, Daniel (bap. 1725, d. 1803), ''painter and japanner''|contribution-url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/2820|title=Oxford Dictionary of National Biography|edition=Online|publisher=Oxford University Press|url=http://www.oxforddnb.com|access-date=2012-01-14}}</ref> He married Susannah Hodgetts at [St Philip's, Birmingham](/source/St_Philip's_Cathedral%2C_Birmingham) in 1758.<ref name="DNB" /> He was apprenticed as a painter of [japanned](/source/Japanning) and [papier-mâché](/source/papier-m%C3%A2ch%C3%A9) goods to Henry Clay in Birmingham,<ref name="Birmingham-catalogue">{{Citation|last1=Wallis|first1=Whitworth|last2=Chamberlain|first2=Arthur Bensley|year=1904|contribution=Bond, (J.

Nothing is known of Bond's artistic career until 1761, when he exhibited a landscape drawing after [Claude Joseph Vernet](/source/Claude_Joseph_Vernet) at the [Society of Artists](/source/Society_of_Artists_of_Great_Britain) in [London](/source/London).<ref name="DNB" /> Between 1762 and 1769 he exhibited over 30 landscapes at the rooms of the [Free Society of Artists](/source/Royal_Society_of_Arts), exhibiting further works in 1775 and 1780.<ref name="DNB" /> He won 25 guineas in 1764 for the second best landscape in the exhibition, and in 1765 he won 50 guineas for the first prize.<ref name="Birmingham-catalogue" />

His productions are described as highly finished landscapes, broad in treatment, after the style of Wilson, R.A.. He seems to have amassed property enough to live a retired life during his latter years. He died at [Hagley Row](/source/Hagley_Row), [Edgbaston](/source/Edgbaston), Birmingham, on 18 December 1803. In 1804, a few months after his death, a number of his pictures and drawings were sold by auction in London.

He was the elder brother of the composer [Capel Bond](/source/Capel_Bond).<ref name="DNB" />
