The artwork, “O’Malley Home (Achill Island, County Mayo, Ireland),” was created by Robert Henri in 1913. It is a part of the American Realism art movement and falls under the landscape genre.
The artwork depicts the lush and vibrant scenery of Achill Island in County Mayo, Ireland. The rich, green fields stretch across the canvas, interspersed with patches of yellow and brown, likely representing areas of cultivated or fallow land. The brushwork is vigorous and expressive, characteristic of Henri’s technique. In the background, rolling hills rise towards a cloud-filled sky, adding a sense of depth and scale to the composition. The use of color and brushstroke evokes a sense of liveliness and movement within the serene rural landscape, capturing the essence of the Irish countryside.
