His paintings, often inspired by the Scottish Highlands or Italian scenery, reveal a deep connection to nature and a penchant for atmospheric effects. Clouds tower over vast plains, light breaks through the sky, bathing mountains, lakes, and rivers in an almost otherworldly glow. More worked with subtle nuances of green, blue, and ochre, giving his paintings a special depth and vibrancy.
Jacob More, active in the 18th century, was a representative of Classicism, whose works are characterized by clarity, harmony, and an idealized depiction of nature. His painting is marked by careful composition and a pronounced attention to detail.

More drew inspiration from both classical antiquity and direct observation of nature, lending his images a timeless quality.

His works were highly regarded not only in Britain but also in Italy, influencing numerous subsequent landscape painters.
