Rose Barton- Westminster-Illustrated London


On our travels today we happened to see a book with Illustrated London Pictures by Rose Barton. So we bought it! Antiques shops in Hungerford well worth a visit! (Now part of Our collection).



Rose Mary Barton R.W.S. (21 April 1856–1929) was an Anglo-Irish artist, a watercolourist who painted landscape, street scenes, gardens, child portraiture and illustrations of the townscape of Britain and Ireland.Barton exhibited with a number of different painting societies, most notably the Watercolour Society of Ireland (WCSI), the Royal Academy (RA), the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA), the Society of Women Artists and the Royal Watercolour Society (RWS). She became a full member of the RWS in 1911. Her paintings are in public collections of Irish painting in both Ireland and Britain, including theNational Gallery of Ireland and Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane in Dublin, and the Ulster Museum in Belfast.
