Richard Henry Wright

Richard Henry Wright is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Richard Henry Wright painted delicate watercolours of Italian architecture in the early 1900s. His 1902 sheet "The Cathedral, Siena" shows the striped marble façade of Siena’s Duomo bathed in soft light. The piece belongs to a quiet travel-art tradition where artists sketched on location, then finished the work back in their lodgings. Try flipping to Wright’s other Italian scenes—each sheet folds up like a postcard you could mail home.
