Barry, James (1741-1806)

The Phoenix or the Resurrection of Freedom. 1776-1808. Barry Barry was a close friend of the politician Edmund Burke and shared his hostility to King George III's and his government's repression of the American colonies in their War of Independence (1775-83) Barry makes clear his sympathy for the Americans by including a self-portrait among the mourners for the dead Britannia. She has died because the liberties which once held sway in Britain had now fled to America where, phoenix-like, they are reborn. Etching, line engraving and aquatint on paper, 433 x 613 mm. Acquisition Purchased 1992 (T06572).
