About Beatrice Bright
Lived 1861 – 1940 (aged 78–79). Beatrice Bright was a painter.
Beatrice Bright (1861–1940) was a British portrait and landscape painter.
"Annie" Bright was born in London in 1861, the youngest of three daughters born to telegraph engineer Sir Charles Tilston Bright and his wife Hannah Barrick . An ambrotype held by the National Portrait Gallery possibly features the infant Bright. In fact, her father was a dabbling sketch-artist himself. She first exhibited her work there in the late 1880s before returning to London, with a studio at Hanover Square and a residence in Kensington.
"Well-known" for her portraits, Bright also painted flowers and seascapes, spending part of 1909 to 1914 in St Ives, Cornwall with Albert Julius Olsson for that purpose.
There is no reference in reference guides to a husband or children and Bright is referred to as "Miss". She died in 1940, leaving over £33,000.
