Wright Barker

Wright Barker, known professionally as Wright Barker, but socially as John Wright Barker, was an English painter in oils. He specialised in painting domesticated animals, hunting, landscapes and portraits, but occasionally he depicted other subjects, such as Greek mythology. After training at the Académie Julian, he produced much of his work in Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire, although he also painted some pictures in the Scottish Highlands and in Poland. He was elected a member of the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) in 1896.
