Description
Title: MOUNTAINOUS LANDSCAPE, WEST OF IRELAND, 1913-1914
Note: This picture is almost certainly the view, looking eastwards, from Rosroe in County Mayo where Henry was living, at Aasleagh, near Leenane, at the time. In its review of the exhibition in 1914 Belfast's Northern Whig commented that the landscape 'Between Giant Hills' was painted with the breadth and simplicity that marks Mr. Henry's work at its best. The picture is numbered 1332 in S. B. Kennedy's on-going cataloguing of Paul Henry's oeuvre.Dr SB Kennedy HRHA
