Industrial progress brought positive change to British society. An empire developed whose influence was felt worldwide. Education was to be open to all levels of society and provide good life bonds. Only the smoking chimneys of the factories caused doubt. Those who could retreated from the smoke-filled streets and escaped into a world that left out the dirty aspects of industry. Literature enticed with stories and most notably Charles Dickens drew the reading public to the drawing rooms. The stories were artfully illustrated and supported the desire to leave the real world for a short time. Artist Robert Barnes fulfilled the harmonious need with his genre paintings and illustrations and gained international recognition.
Art in the early part of the Victorian era was shaped by the Royal Academy of Arts. Its founder and long-time chairman Joshua Reynolds shaped the artistic path of British painting and his influence extended beyond his death. With industry, a new class of buyers developed for the country's artists. The middle classes had the financial means to furnish their homes with art. These were to be works that transposed reality in the Pre-Raphaelite sense and reflected it. Pictures that were highly detailed without being idealized. Robert Barnes devoted himself to painting everyday scenes. He painted in watercolor and mastered the art of lithography. They are often children and family scenes, showing the figures engaged in everyday activities. Children at play, at school or with their parents and grandparents. The faces full of emotion are striking. Girls whose facial expressions clearly show their reluctance to sew, or schoolchildren who face serious situations with childish impudence. They are charming figures. Regardless of whether the artist captures life on the city streets and depicts a family country idyll.
Robert Barnes has created a world seemingly made of affection and love. His works depict subjects far removed from the ideal landscapes and portraits that defined painting. The pictorial interpretations of everyday life that Barnes presents always show a nuance of humor. There is often only a hair's breadth between humour and irony. The lithographs of Robert Barnes are entertaining, they are a delight for the eye that can discover so much here at second glance. The Victorian era, however, was also a time of social criticism. How close to reality the representations are and how strongly the critical aspect flows into the works of Robert Barnes, that may remain the secret of the artist.
