Biography

Robert James Enraght Moony was a painter and illustrator of landscapes and symbolist works invoking the realism of the Pre-Raphaelite genre and his interest in old Celtic fairy lore and mysticism.

His love of ancient legends and lore made him an ideal candidate to illustrate Kenneth Graham’s “The Golden Age” and his Pre-Raphaelite style complemented the book extremely well. This book had nineteen full-colour illustrations and is still regarded as a fine example of the illustrator’s art.
