Biography[]
A native of Galway City, Haverty was first recognized in 1814 after sending a painting to the Hibernian Society of Artists. His 1844 piece, The Limerick Piper, became one of the most famous 19th century lithographs. The work features , a blind Gaelic[1] piper from Labasheeda, popularized by Haverty's painting.[2] He painted genre scenes, landscapes, and portraits, a fine example of the latter features Daniel O’Connell. Haverty died of edema on 27 July 1864 following a long illness, and was buried at Glasnevin Cemetery.[3] In November 2003, one of Haverty's paintings sold for a record €227,000 at one of Christie's auctions of Irish art.[4]
His step brother was the author, Martin Haverty.[5]
