His main profession was surgeon and pharmacist. He had a practice in his hometown of Exeter, which he is said to have hardly left during his lifetime. White Abbott was a friend and patron of the watercolor painter Francis Towne. Towne brought him closer to art and taught him. White Abbott studied his mentor's style so closely that in some works it was hardly possible to distinguish which of the two artists was the creator. He was a very talented artist and despite his amateur status, he was allowed to exhibit almost annually at the Royal Academy between 1795 and 1805. He even received the title of an honorary exhibitor from the Royal Academy. During his lifetime Abbott even received more recognition than his mentor Francis Towne.
John White Abbott came from a wealthy family who owned many estates in the Devonian region. Around 1825 Abbott inherited one of these properties in Exeter and retired there. Apart from a few classical and mythological motifs, as well as a few copies of the Italian landscape scenes of his mentor town, Abbott's works showed almost exclusively landscapes around his home region. For as a landscape artist, he rarely traveled beyond the borders of his native Devon. His only longer journeys took him to Scotland, Lancashire and the Lake District, among other places. Towne had also travelled to the Lake District to paint some years earlier. The fact that he hardly ever left his homeland offered him little scope for varied motifs. Nevertheless, Abbott always managed to lend his paintings freshness and strength. Abbott received most recognition for his oil paintings, although he preferred to paint in watercolor, similar to his teacher Towne.
Although White Abbott was highly regarded as an artist and gained access to the highest art circles with his works, he refused to become a professional artist. He did not want to give up his practice and work as a medical doctor and continued to pursue the profession until the end. For him, art was primarily a means of recreation and balance to his profession, which seemed to become more and more important to him as his professional recognition grew. During his lifetime, Abbott is said not to have sold a single one of his paintings, so that most of his works remained in the private possession of his family well into the 20th century. His descendants eventually handed over part of the collection to several British museums, where they are exhibited today. In addition to painting and drawing, White Abbott was also very skilled in the art of etching.
