H E period intervening between Henry ’ Bright s death a nd the present day has been marked by scattered a ttempts to recall his cl aims to remembrance . The 1910 Winter Exhibition at Burlington ’ u ' w as a l Ho se , to which lent the E r of Wemyss s “ ’ a be utiful St . Benet s Abbey , Norfolk , is still fresh a al are a l a in mind , s so the import nt co lections pl ced on ’ a 19 1 and a view at Walker s G lleries in 1 the present ye r . These latter afforded practically unique Opportunities for the London public to "udge Bright , not only by his a l a a oils , but also by selected ex mp es of his p stels, w ter colours and pe ncil drawings . A few of the most i are u u strik ng items reprod ced in this broch re . ’ A discerning writer who, when penning Bright s ’ obituary in The A rt Journal, O bserved of the artist s remaining works that collectors will do well to secure ” some one , or more of these desirable examples , is now being amply "ustified in his a dvice . Although Bright a u achieved a high popul rity d ring his life , his pictures are now commencing to be held in that more lasting u and esteem which , based on m at red unbiassed "udg ment , must inevitably gain him an assured niche with the grea t m asters of the Norwich school . If Bright w as of Norfolk by tuition , he w as of uff l a at S o k by birth , his first bre th being drawn a in 18 1 1 a Saxmundh m either 0 or 8 14. The baptism l registers Ofthe parish church are silent on the question ; no instan ce of the n ame occurs in them between 1805 2 an d 18 0. This is not to be wondered at, however , as l the Brights were Independents . They a ttended the O d a at a a u am and ch pel Rendh m , three miles from S xm ndh , ’ owned a vault in its graveyard . The early registers of he a in u a u u t ch pel , now Somerset Ho se , con t in n mero s references to the fa mily , but, unfortun ately , the most “ a u a a a import nt is nd ted , simply st ting th t Henry Bright , and ua a c t the son of Jerome S s n Bright , of the p rish ” a u a w as h a S xm ndh m , born . T is en try is s ndwiched 18 11 and 18 12 but between others of . respectively , the compilation of the register is extremely erratic , and 18 10 a a m y have been intended . Jerome Bright had sever l I children , but did not notice any younger than Henry , wherea s some were born so long previous to him as the ’ ’ 1790s . O n the other hand , Henry Bright s age at dea th 1 73 w as u e as 59 and u ( 8 ) p blish d , this is s pported by the ’ la statement of the a rtist s grandson , Mr . J . H . C .

  • The Suffolk Institute of Archaeology
    THE SUFFOLKINSTITUTE OF ARCHAEOLOGY: ITS LIFE, TIMESANDMEMBERS by STEVENJ. PLUNKETT The one remains —the many change and pass' (Shelley) 1: ROOTS THE SUFFOLKINSTITUTE of Archaeology and History had its birth 150 years ago, in the spring of 1848, under the title of The Bury and West Suffolk Archaeological Institute. It is among the earliest of the County Societies, preceded only by Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire (1844), Norfolk (1846), and the Cambrian, Bedfordshire, Sussex and Buckinghamshire Societies (1847), and contemporary with those of Lancashire and Cheshire. Others, equally successful, followed, and it is a testimony to the social and intellectual timeliness of these foundations that most still flourish and produce Proceedingsdespite a century and a half of changing approaches to the historical and antiquarian materials for the study of which they were created. The immediate impetus to this movement was the formation in December 1843 of the British ArchaeologicalAssociationfor the Encouragementand Preservationof Researchesinto the Arts ancl Monumentsof theEarly and MiddleAges, which in March 1844 produced the first number of the ArchaeologicalJ ournal.The first published members' list, of 1845, shows the members grouped according to the counties in which they lived, indicating the intention that the Association should gather information from, and disseminate discourses into, the counties through a national forum. The thirty-six founding members from Suffolk form an interesting group from a varied social spectrum, including the collector Edward Acton (Grundisburgh), Francis Capper Brooke (Ufford), John Chevallier Cobbold, Sir Thomas Gery Cullum of Hawstead, David Elisha Davy, William Stevenson Fitch, the Ipswich artists Fred Russel and Wat Hagreen, Professor Henslow, Alfred Suckling, Samuel Tyrnms, John Wodderspoon, the Woodbridge geologist William Whincopp, Richard Almack, and the Revd John Mitford (editor of Gentleman'sMagazine).

  • Wooded Landscape with an Approaching Storm Watercolour and Gouache
    Henry Bright (Saxmundham 1814 - Ipswich 1873) Wooded Landscape with an Approaching Storm Watercolour and gouache. Signed H. Bright at the lower left. 160 x 240 mm. (6 1/4 x 9 1/2 in.) Provenance: Sale, London, Christie’s, 20 July 2000, lot 35 John Adams Fine Art, London, in July 2004 Christopher Cone, Whitby. Artist description: Relatively little is known of the early life and career of the landscape painter Henry Bright. A pupil of Alfred Stannard and John Sell Cotman, Bright is associated with the Norwich School of artists, although he lived and worked in London between 1836 and 1858, earning a living as an artist and a teacher of watercolour painting. Early in his life, between 1839 and 1844, he exhibited at New Society of Painters in Watercolours with some success, although over the course of his entire career he was not very prolific as an exhibitor. (The reason for this may perhaps be found in a comment he made in 1870; ‘I seldom exhibit I can sell all I do at a good price.’). Certainly, Bright seems to have enjoyed considerable success as a painter, with one of his works being acquired by Queen Victoria. He travelled extensively throughout Britain and the Continent, and was friendly with J. M. W. Turner (whom he sometimes accompanied on sketching expeditions), Samuel Prout and David Cox, while his work was also much praised by John Ruskin. He was also a popular and influential teacher, counting a number of wealthy and titled amateurs among his students, and in the 1840’s published manuals such as Bright’s Drawing Book and Bright’s Graduated Tint Studies.
