Thomas Barker of BathDay's End, Realist, Donkeys, Figure, Genre, Landscape, Tate, British Museum
About the Item
Two donkeys grazing and a young man seated by them are bathed in light at day's end. The artist, Thomas Barker (known as 'Barker of Bath'), was a British painter of landscape and rural life. Born in 1769, at Trosnant near the village of Pontypool, in Monmouthshire, Barker showed a talent for drawing figures and designing landscapes at an early age although he was entirely self-taught. When he was sixteen his family moved to Bath where the patronage of a coach-builder named Charles Spackman allowed him to continue working as an artist. During the first four years he copied the works of the old Dutch and Flemish masters. Barker exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. His paintings were copied onto Staffordshire pottery, Worcester china, Manchester cottons and Glasgow linens.
Works by Barker are held at the Tate Gallery, the British Museum and Bristol Museum.
The painting is in fine condition. The painting itself measures 10 1/2" x 13 1/2".

- "Venice, 1906, " Italy, Warren W. Sheppard, Realist, Oil, Gondola, CanalBy Warren W. SheppardLocated in Wiscasset, MEMarine painter Warren W. Sheppard was born in Greenwich, New Jersey, to a ship captain father who instilled in his son a love and respect for the sea. He studied privately with Mauritz F. H. De Haas and took courses in drawing at Cooper Union in New York City. He traveled along the Mediterranean coast in 1879, sketching the ports of Naples, Gibraltar, Genoa and Messina. Sheppard’s foreign tours continued between 1888 and 1893, with stays in Paris and Venice, where he captured the architecture and busy canals of the Floating City. This fondness for travel also translated to his home country. He sailed along the East Coast from New Jersey to Maine in search of subjects and was an expert navigator, eventually writing the book Practical Navigation. Yacht design became a second career for Sheppard and he participated in a number of sailing competitions himself, most notably winning the New York-to-Bermuda race twice while skipper of the Tamerlane. Sheppard exhibited at the Denver Exposition, Chicago Exposition...Category
