Irish Art - George Barret Jnr

George Barret Junior (1767-1842)
Son of the celebrated Irish artist, George Barret RA (1732-1784), George Barret Junior was, according to Strickland "one of the foremost water-colour painters of the English School." He was a foundation member of the Old Watercolour Society in 1804, a major exhibitor there and also showed at the Royal Academy. Strickland again: "In some qualities his watercolours have never been surpassed, excelling in their effects of atmosphere and brilliant sunlight, and full of poetic feeling".
