  • Inicialmente, trabalhou através da reinterpretação de gravuras de cenas clássicas italianas de artistas como Claude Lorrain, demonstrando uma base sólida nos estilos estabelecidos.
  • Apesar de retratar paisagens italianas, não existem evidências de que ele próprio tenha alguma vez viajado para a Itália.

Mudança para Londres e Ascensão à Proeminência

  • Em 1762, Barret mudou-se para Londres em busca de maiores oportunidades artísticas.

Estilo Artístico e Temas

  • Viajou extensivamente pela Inglaterra, Gales, Escócia e Irlanda, realizando encomendas e capturando a beleza de diversas paisagens.

  • Apesar de obter rendimentos substanciais, foi descrito como "despreparado" com o dinheiro e enfrentou dificuldades financeiras ocasionalmente.
  • Apoio Contínuo: Edmund Burke permaneceu um amigo leal e auxiliou Barret financeira e profissionalmente.
