1734-97 English painter. He painted portraits, landscapes and subjects from literature, but his most original and enduringly celebrated works are a few which reflect the philosophical and technological preoccupations of the later 18th century and are characterized by striking effects of artificial light. He was the first major English painter to work outside the capital all his life: apart from spells in Liverpool (1768-71), Italy (1773-5) and Bath (1775-7), he lived and worked in his native Derby, though exhibiting in London at both the Society of Artists (1765-76, 1791) and the Royal Academy (1778-82, 1789-90, 1794).   Related Paintings of Joseph wright of derby :. | Millicent Mundy | Portrait of Miss Frances Warren | The Alchemist Discovering Phosphorus or The Alchemist in Search of the Philosophers Stone | Portrait of Richard Arkwright | D Ewes Coke his wife, Hannah, and his cousin Daniel Coke, by Wright, |
