Joseph Patrick Haverty

At one time, Haverty was considered one of the most prolific of irish painters, and after the 1842 exhibition in Cork, it was generally said that if something was worth painting, it should be painted by Joseph Haverty. He was elected as an associated of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1823 and painted a series called the Seven Sacraments soon after. He always signed his art works with the letter J or Joseph, never using his surname. He painted many minatures which demonstrated his mastery of oil paints and great draftsman drawing skills.
