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 Patrick O'Brien, a blind Gaelic[1] piper from Labasheeda, popularised by Haverty's painting.[2][3] 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.[4] In November 2003, one of Haverty's paintings sold for a record €227,000 at one of Christie's auctions of Irish art.[5]
His step brother was the author, Martin Haverty.[6]
