James Barry (painter)
James Barry (October 11, 1741–February 22, 1806), Irish painter, best remembered for his six part series of paintings entitled The Progress of Human Culture. Because of his determination to create art according to his own principles rather than those of his patrons, he is also noted for being one of the earliest romantic painters working in Britain, though as an artist few rate him highly.
