Barber was born in Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, and studied from the age of 18 at
the Royal Academy, London – receiving a silver medal for drawing in 1864,
and first exhibiting there in 1866.During his lifetime Barber was regarded as one of Britain’s finest animal
painters and received commissions from Queen Victoria to do paintings of her
with grandchildren and dogs,[1] and also the Prince of Wales (later Edward
VII) and his pets. A number of his portraits are in the Royal Collection. He
exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1866 to 1893. In 1883 he was elected a
member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.Barber became a very popular sporting and animal painter, specialising
particularly in sentimental portraits of dogs, often with children. His work
ranged from photographically realistic to quick sketches. Although some have
regarded his work as overly sentimental, his work remains popular, largely
because of his competent painting.Barber received his final commission in 1894 to paint Queen Victoria, with her
grandchildren, in her pony-carriage. He died in London soon afterwards. His
place as foremost painter of children and pets was taken by Arthur Elsley.Many of Barber’s paintings were made into prints, usually in the medium of
photogravure. He exhibited at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Walker A
rt Gallery and Manchester Art Gallery. Much of his art is at the Lady Lever
Art Gallery in Port Sunlight.
