Joseph Barney
Joseph Barney (1753 in Wolverhampton – 13 April 1832 in London), was a British painter and engraver. He is usually described as a pupil of Antonio Zucchi and Angelica Kauffman and as a fruit and flower painter to the Prince Regent. Two of his large-scale paintings — altarpieces ''The Deposition from the Cross'' (1781) and ''The Apparition of Our Lord to St Thomas'' (1784) are in Wolverhampton, and can be seen today at St John's church and at St Peter & St Paul's Roman Catholic church. During Barney's lifetime, his artistic achievements were respected and praised. In 1798, Stebbing Shaw, mentioning ''The Deposition from the Cross'' in his ''History of Staffordshire'', called Barney a "native genius" of Wolverhampton. In the collection of Wolverhampton Art Gallery, there is a pen and ink drawing, ''A Blind Musician'', which gives some additional idea of quality and versatility of Barney's works.
