English painter. The son of a gardner to the Gilpin family, he studied under the animal painter Sawrey Gilpin. During a trip to Derbyshire with Gilpin he met George Greville, 2nd Earl of Warwick, who gave him financial support to go to Italy between 1776 and 1781. Smith spent 1778–9 in Naples and was otherwise based in Rome. He contributed six views to Samuel Middiman's Select Views in Great Britain (1784–5) after his own works were used for Smith's series of Select Views in Italy (1792–9). By 1797 Smith had settled in London.
