巴里大体上是个自学成才的艺术家，1763年吸引了他的爱尔兰同胞埃德蒙·伯克的赞助，他资助巴里在1766年至1771年间在意大利停留，学习老大师。随后，巴里回到英格兰，并在他的职业生涯中迅速崛起，在1773年成为皇家学院的成员，并在1777年获得装饰皇家学会房间的委任。后者的项目占据了他，直到1783。1782年至1799年，巴里是皇家学院的绘画教授，但是他死于贫困。
巴里是约书亚·雷诺兹爵士“宏伟风格”的倡导者；因此，他雄心勃勃的比喻性作品的主题来自古典文物和文学作品。然而，在文体上，他的线性和起伏的形式使他更接近英国新古典主义风格的领袖、雕塑家约翰·弗拉克斯曼和诗人-画家威廉·布莱克的作品。

Largely a self-taught artist, Barry in 1763 attracted the patronage of his Irish compatriot Edmund Burke, who funded Barry’s stay in Italy from about 1766 to 1771 to study the Old Masters. Barry then returned to England and rose rapidly in his profession, becoming a member of the Royal Academy in 1773 and obtaining the commission to decorate the Royal Society rooms in 1777. The latter project occupied him until 1783. Barry was professor of painting at the Royal Academy from 1782 to 1799, but he died in poverty.
Barry was an exponent of the “grand style” of Sir Joshua Reynolds; hence, he drew the subject matter for his ambitious figurative compositions from classical antiquity and from literary works. Stylistically, however, his linearity and undulating forms brought him closer to the work of the leaders of the English Neoclassical style, the sculptor John Flaxman and the poet-painter William Blake.
