 Victorian painter Charles Burton Barber hailed from the pastoral seaside town of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Was it here, in the idyll of shoreline & vacationing Victorians that he honed his extraordinary skills at capturing expression & relationship between people & dogs without becoming excessively sentimental & insipid? Perhaps! Receiving commissions from Queen Victoria herself, tis no wonder that he is regarded a one of Britain's finest painters of children & dogs. Having studied at the Royal Academy, he was the recipient of a silver medal for drawing in 1864, commencing with exhibits there from 1866-1893 & was nominated to the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 1883. His paintings can be found in the Royal Collection (the largest privately owned art collection in the world...adorning 13 occupied royal/historic residences & overseen by a committee) & Lady Lever Art Gallery (established by controversial industrialist/philanthropist William Lever-1st Viscount Leverhulme). The selections below are just a smidge of the exceptional body of work by Barber which adorn hearts & homes planet-wide today.           Comments are closed.

AuthorHowl-O! I'm Julia Jensen- devoted student of dogs & religious sampler of cheesecake, wheat beer, huehuetenango coffee & almost any chocolate out there. I indulge these fancies & more, in the remote silence of the pacific NW. *PLEASE NOTE* The videos selected for bloghism could be construed as "disturbing" to those of certain bents, sensitivities, natures, mind-sets, etc.. I have a distinct interest in relaying footage of dogs doing what they have been doing for centuries....& in some cases, I also include dog show footage just as a matter of interest. If you do not like my selections, by all means, do not view them. Archives
