BIOGRAPHY:
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.
Information about the above William Henry Bartlett is extremely hard to come by, owing in part to the existence of the more famous English painter and illustrator William Henry Bartlett (1800-1854), who also sketched and painted in Ireland and America, although only six of his paintings were exhibited at
London galleries during his lifetime. Most of the latter's drawings were engraved and used as book illustrations.
