William Henry Bartlett (1851-1932)

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.
