Biography
Richard Henry Wright (1857 – 1930) was born in London. He originally trained to be a chemist and subsequently studied art at Heatherley's.
His work is largely comprised of atmospheric topographical subjects in watercolour and oil, and he travelled widely across Europe and Egypt. From 1885, he exhibited at leading galleries, such as the Royal Academy, Royal Hibernian Academy, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours. He also had a number of solo shows with Walker's Gallery in Bond Street. He was married to the still life and genre painter Catherine M Wood.
Wright’s work can be seen at the Ashmolean and the Victoria & Albert Museums.
