Irish paintings and art can be wonderfully captivating when the artist levies the natural beauty of the landscape. For example, the painting to the right, called In Connemara by Paul Henry showcases the exquisite hills by the water. In addition I like this piece because of the detail in the building and the fluffy white clouds. Although this is a great piece of Irish painting/art, it is probably not my favorite piece.
This portrait is my favorite Irish painting so far. The painting is called Molly Macree and was done by Thomas Alfred Jones in the 1860's. Its currently held in the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin. Hopefully some day I will be able to go and visit this gallery. I'm sure that there are lots of Irish paintings and Irish art in there that I would enjoy.
