About the Item

Wright BARKER Exhibited 1885 - 1935 Canvas Size: 20 x 26" (50 x 65cm) Outside Frame Size: 29 x 35" (72.5 x 87.5) He was a figure and animal painter who was based originally in Bradford, where he lived until 1885, when he moved to Edwinstowe, near Mansfield, Nottingham. In 1901 he moved to Hampstead and then back north to Harrogate where he stayed until his death. In his later years he became a picture dealer, but in his will he referred to himself as ‘animal painter’. Barker became a member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1896. Although he called himself an animal painter he is also known to have painted ‘Roman Maidens’, in a Pre-Raphaelite style, and large portraits, mainly on very large canvases. He also painted hunting scenes, mainly of his local Rufford Hunt. He always signed his work with a very bold signature in full and sometimes with a date.
