Rose Barton

The Rose Barton Collection – Timeless Irish Elegance in Watercolour

Step into the delicate world of Rose Barton (1856–1929), one of Ireland’s most beloved watercolour artists. Born in County Tipperary and celebrated on both sides of the Irish Sea, Barton captured the quiet grace of Dublin streets, the bustle of London life, and the ever-changing moods of nature with a softness and sensitivity uniquely her own.

Now available as high-quality reproduction prints, this collection offers art lovers a chance to bring the charm and beauty of Rose Barton's timeless vision into their own homes. Her luminous street scenes, atmospheric landscapes, and tender portraits of gardens and children reflect not only her technical mastery but also her deep affection for the world around her.

A pioneering woman in the Irish art world, Barton began exhibiting with the Royal Water Colour Society of Ireland in 1872, later sitting on its committee. Her artistic journey took her from Brussels to London, where she studied under the renowned Paul Jacob Naftel and exhibited at prestigious venues including the Royal Academy, Grosvenor Gallery, and Hugh Lane’s landmark Irish Art exhibition.

This curated collection celebrates Rose Barton’s enduring legacy—perfect for those who appreciate the elegance of Irish history, the charm of impressionistic detail, and the soft poetry of watercolour.
