His cast of genius was very much that of Claude's, whom he resembles without any imitation more than anybody that I know of".[2] He died in 1764.{{sfn|Strickland|1913}} References1. ^{{cite web | title=James Barry RA | work=Crawford Art Gallery, Cork | url=http://www.crawfordartgallery.ie/Paintings/Barry.html | accessdate=18 December 2010 | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721123615/http://www.crawfordartgallery.ie/Paintings/Barry.html | archivedate=21 July 2011 | df=dmy-all }} 2. ^Letter from James Barry to Joseph Fenn Sleigh, published in {{cite web|title=The works of James Barry, Esq: historical painter|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AZIOAQAAMAAJ&dq|publisher=T.
