Joseph Kirkpatrick

(British, 1872–1930)

Joseph Kirkpatrick was British painter best known for his highly-detailed watercolor renderings of rural English landscapes. The artist’s pastoral scenes were often romanticized—he frequently painted gentile women roaming through the forest, playing with animals, and lounging on fields of grass. His best known work, Ophelia (1896), shows Shakespeare’s tragic figure roaming the forest woods covered in flowers in the moments before she drowns herself. Born in 1872 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, he studied under John Finnie at the Liverpool School of Art, and later at the Académie Julian in Paris under the prominent French painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau. He began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in London in 1898, where he showed a series of works he produced while traveling in North Africa titled The Marsham Gate. Kirkpatrick died in 1936 in Arundel, United Kingdom. Today, Kirkpatricks works are held in the collection of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.
