THOMAS BARKER OF BATH oil on canvas - portrait of a bearded peasant, title to plaque 'The Stick Gatherer'Dimensions: 122 x 96cmsProvenance:private collection South West England, consigned via our Cardiff officeAuctioneer's Note:Thomas Barker (1769–1847) was born at Trosnant near Pontypool, in Monmouthshire. He was the most talented and best known of the Barker family of artists, which included father Benjamin, and Thomas's brothers (Benjamin and Joseph) but also his sons, Thomas Jones and John Joseph. He was self-taught.When he was sixteen his family moved to Bath where the patronage of a wealthy coach-builder Charles Spackman allowed him to follow his talent as a painter. Initially he copied the works of the old Dutch and Flemish masters, then at the age of twenty-one he travelled to Rome with ample funds to maintain his position there as a gentleman. While in Rome he painted infrequently, mainly contenting himself with society life.Barker was a prolific and commercially extremely successful artist. He was an occasional exhibitor at the Royal Academy and the British Institution for almost fifty years, during which period he exhibited nearly one hundred pictures. His work 'The Woodman' (influenced by Gainsborough's painting of the same subject) was so popular that it was copied on to almost every material - Staffordshire pottery, Worcester china, Manchester cottons, and Glasgow linens. Barker amassed considerable property by the sale of his works, and spent a large sum in building a mansion for his residence at Sion Hill in Bath, where he established a gallery of sculpture and other art.Barker was also one of the first British artists to use lithography as a print medium. His series of 'Rustic Figures after Nature' published in Bath in 1813 is the first series of lithographs by a British single artist.Condition Report:framed, title / artist plaque to frame, ready to hang
