English painter

Jerry Barrett in 1860

**Jerry Barrett** (1824–21 January 1906) was an [English](/source/England) painter of the [Victorian era](/source/Victorian_era). His most notable work was the [Crimean War](/source/Crimean_War) depiction *The Mission of Mercy: [Nightingale](/source/Florence_Nightingale) receiving the wounded at [Scutari](/source/Selimiye_Barracks)* (1858) which is in the [National Portrait Gallery (London)](/source/National_Portrait_Gallery_(London)), paired with *Queen Victoria's First Visit to her Wounded Soldiers*.[1]

In Barrett's *[Florence Nightingale Receiving the Wounded at Scutari](/source/Florence_Nightingale_Receiving_the_Wounded_at_Scutari)* the artist inserted a self-portrait as a voyeur observing the scene from the window in the background.[2]

There is documentation to suggest that Barrett traveled to the Crimea to obtain sketches for his pictures.[3] *Queen Victoria's First Visit to Her Wounded Soldiers* was exhibited at the Royal Exhibition Gallery in Piccadilly in May, 1856, and engraved by Agnews. It was [Thomas Agnew](/source/Thomas_Agnew_%26_Sons) who purchased *The Mission of Mercy* from the artist in August 1857, and exhibited it at Leggatt and Hayward Gallery in Cornhill in the summer of 1858 at the height of the [Indian Mutiny](/source/Indian_Mutiny).
