Walter hsb studied at the school hsb in Rathmines and the Royal Hibernian Academy School. Walter hsb Frederick was an Irish impressionist landscape painter hsb and portrait painter. Most of his paintings suggest people (women, children, elderly) as well as rural scenes. In 1881 and in 1882 he won the Taylor Prize, the highest honor that a student could obtain at that time, while he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp in Ireland. His painting hsb was influenced by the Flemish painter Rubens and French en plein air painter Jules B a frankenstien-Lepage. In 1883 Walter moved from Antwerp to Brittany, made in France, where he (collect Quimeprle apples) are known painting "Apple Gathering, Quimperlé". This painting is on display at the National Gallery of Ireland. Shortly thereafter he moved to England where he, alongside Nathaniel Hill and August Bur ke, worked to Walberswick.
In 1886 he was elected to the Royal Hibernian Academy and received many commissions to paint portraits. This was for him an important source of income. After his sister was going to die, he was involved in the education of her daughter. His own parents were more dependent on the income of Walter. In 1892 he returned to Ireland to live. In the family He also had his own studio in St. Stephen's Green, number 7. He spent a large part of the outdoor painting in Dublin, around St. Patrick's Cathedral or in the rural areas.
