Michael Fitzpatrick b. 16 December 1816

Also known as M. Fitzpatrick
  • Artist (Draughtsman)
Fitzpatrick contributed an untitled pen-and-ink drawing to the 1867 Paris Universal Exhibition but is thereafter thought that he only continued to sketch as a hobby. Fitzpatrick's chief interest was politics and it was his passion over the issue of public education that alienated him from both the NSW Premier Henry Parkes and Parkes' bitter opponent, the Catholic Archbishop Vaughan. When he died from 'apoplexy' and was consequently denied Catholic burial rites it caused a huge public scandal.
