John Butler Yeats (16 ta' Marzu 1839 – 3 ta' Frar 1922) kien artist Irlandiż u missier William Butler Yeats, Lily Yeats, Elizabeth Corbett "Lolly" Yeats u Jack B. Yeats. In-National Gallery of Ireland għandha numru ta’ ritratti tiegħu biż-żejt u xogħlijiet fuq il-karta, inkluż wieħed mir-ritratti tiegħu ta’ ibnu William, impitter fl-1900.^[1] Ir-ritratt tiegħu ta' John O'Leary (1904) huwa meqjus bħala l-kapulavur tiegħu.

Karriera[immodifika | immodifika s-sors]

Yeats twieled f’Lawrencetown, belt ta’ Tullylish, County Down. Il-ġenituri tiegħu kienu William Butler Yeats (1806-1862) u Jane Grace Corbert; John Butler Yeats kien l-ikbar minn disa' ulied. Edukat fit-Trinity College Dublin u membru tas-Soċjetà Filosofika tal-Università, John Butler Yeats beda l-karriera tiegħu bħala avukat u ħadem ma’ Isaac Butt qabel ma beda jpitter fl-1867 u studja fil-Heatherley School of Fine Art . Ftit li xejn m'hemm iddokumentat dwar il-bejgħ tiegħu, allura m'hemm l-ebda katalgu tax-xogħol tiegħu f'kollezzjonijiet privati. Huwa possibbli li wħud mix-xogħlijiet bikrin tiegħu setgħu nħarqu fit-Tieni Gwerra Dinjija. Huwa ma kellu l-ebda diffikultà jikseb kummissjonijiet; dan jidher ċar mit-tpinġijiet u l-pitturi biż-żejt tiegħu li jinstabu fi djar privati fl-Irlanda, l-Ingilterra u l-Amerika. L-aħħar ritratti tiegħu juru sensittività kbira għas-suġġett tagħhom. Madankollu, huwa ma kellux sens ta' negozju u qatt ma kien finanzjarjament stabbli matul ħajtu. Huwa spiss biddel fejn joqgħod u ċċaqlaq diversi drabi bejn l-Ingilterra u l-Irlanda.

Fl-1907, fl-età ta’ 68 sena, huwa vvjaġġa lejn New York abbord l-RMS Campania , ma’ bintu Lily, u qatt ma reġa' lura lejn l-Irlanda. F'Ottubru 1909 huwa mar jgħix fid-dar immexxija mis-sorijiet Petitpas li kienet tinsab fi 317 West 29th Street. Fi New York, kellu ħbiberija mal-membri tal-iskola tal-pitturi Ashcan. Huwa miet fid-dar tas-sorijiet fit-3 ta' Frar 1922. Edmund Quinn għamel maskra tal-mewt fuqu u din issa tinsab fil-kollezzjoni tal-Yeats Society f'Sligo. John Butler Yeats jinsab midfun fiċ-Ċimiterju Rurali ta' Chestertown f’Chestertown, New York, ħdejn il-ħabiba tiegħu, Jeanne Robert Foster.

Yeats iżżeweġ lil Susan Pollexfen (13 ta' Lulju 1841 – 3 ta' Jannar 1900) fl-10 ta' Settembru 1863 fil-Knisja ta' San Ġwann, Sligo. Susan Yeats kienet iddiżappuntata ħafna meta żewġha abbanduna l-istudju tal-liġi biex isir artist.^[2] Susan hija deskritta bħala "figura dellija" li "sfortunatament, iġennet bil-mod".^[3]

John u Susan kellhom sitt itfal: William Butler Yeats; Susan Mary "Lily" Yeats; Elizabeth Corbett "Lolly" Yeats; Robert Corbet Yeats; John "Jack" Butler Yeats; u Jane Grace Yeats.
