He was the son of James Newton the engraver, and nephew of William Newton (1735-1790) the architect. He began his career as an engraver, and executed a few plates, including a portrait of Joseph Richardson, M.P. after Martin Archer Shee. Concentrating then on miniature-painting, he became one of the most fashionable artists of his day and for many years his only real rival was Sir William Ross. In 1831 he was appointed miniature-painter in ordinary to William IV and Queen Adelaide, and from 1837 to 1858 held the same post under Queen Victoria. He was knighted in 1837. Though popular, Newton was never elected to the Royal Academy. He long resided in Argyll Street, London; after his retirement he moved to 6 Cambridge Terrace, Hyde Park, where he died 22 January 1869.
