Portrait by Grace Henry.
Belfast born painter Paul Henry worked as an illustrator in London until a visit to Achill Island in 1910 inspired him to turn to painting.
He was noted for depicting the West of Ireland landscape in a spare Post-Impressionist style.
Widely considered the most significant Irish landscape painter, Paul Henry’s works can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Ireland, Hugh Lane Gallery, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Ulster Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and National Museum of Modern Art in Paris.
