 William Henry Bartlett RBA (1858-1932)
Bartlett's principal focus was landscape painting. During the 1890s, he
passed several summers in Connemara, County Galway drawing inspiration
from the local inhabitants and rugged scenery. He completed a large
number of paintings on Irish rural life and its landscape. Some of
these artworks were published in The Art Journal.
Bartlett painted in watercolours and exhibited at numerous Royal
Hibernian Academy (RHA) exhibitions. However, few records remain of any
solo shows apart from an undated "Irish Landscape Exhibition" and one
at the Crawford Art Gallery, Cork. He was also an accomplished
draughtsman, drawing in pencil, pen and ink and chalks. He was a
member of the Royal Society of British Artists.
Public collections of Bartlett's paintings are rare, as are sales of
his paintings. He can be seen in Ireland at the Crawford Municipal Art
Gallery in Cork.
More details of William Henry Bartlett landscape paintings appear in The Watercolours of Ireland, by Crookshank, Anne and Glin, London, (1994).
