EDITORS COMMENTS
Cottages, Achill Island, Co Mayo (1913) by Robert Henri This evocative oil painting on board, titled "Cottages, Achill Island, Co Mayo," was created by American artist Robert Henri in 1913. The scene depicts a serene and picturesque landscape of traditional Irish cottages nestled among lush greenery and rolling hills on the western coast of Ireland. Henri, born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1863, was a leading figure in the Ashcan School of art, a group of American realists who sought to depict urban life and everyday people in an honest and unromanticized way. However, his work extended beyond the urban landscape, as seen in this beautiful representation of rural Ireland. The painting captures the charm and simplicity of the Irish countryside, with the cottages appearing as if they have been gently weathered by the elements and the verdant hills rolling out to the horizon. The use of bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors adds to the painting's sense of energy and vitality, while the overall composition invites the viewer to imagine the quiet, peaceful life that once existed in this idyllic setting. Henri spent time in Ireland in the early 20th century, and this painting is a testament to the profound impact that the country had on his artistic vision. The work is a reminder of the beauty and richness of Ireland's rural landscapes, and the enduring allure they hold for artists and travelers alike.
