Henry Bright was born in Saxmundham, Suffolk, the third son of some nine children of Jerome Bright (1770–1846)
His obvious artistic talents were finally recognised and he became a pupil of Alfred Stannard (1806–1889), the younger brother of Joseph Stannard. He is also said to have been trained by John Berney Crome (1794–1842), who was John Crome's son, and John Sell Cotman (1782–1842), both members of the Norwich Society of Artists.
About 1833 Bright returned to Saxmundham to marry Eliza Brightley (d. 1848) who came from the same town. They went on to have 2 sons and 2 daughters, of whom only the daughters are known to have survived into adulthood. The couple moved to Paddington, London in 1836, then to Ealing in 1848 (the same year that Eliza died). By 1854, Bright was living in St John's Wood, but left London in 1858 for health reasons and settled with his daughters in his brother's house in Saxmundham.
