A Breezy Day - Howth Head, early 20th century
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print captured by the talented artist William Newenham Montague Orpen. The image transports us to the rugged beauty of Howth Head, a picturesque peninsula on Ireland's east coast. In this scene, we see a woman standing at the edge of a cliff, gazing out towards the vast expanse of the Irish Sea. The painting perfectly captures the essence of a windy day as her dress and hair are gently tousled by the breeze. The vibrant colors used by Orpen bring life to both the sky and sea, creating an atmosphere that feels alive with movement and energy. As we admire this artwork displayed in Dublin City Gallery, The Hugh Lane, we can't help but feel drawn into its tranquility and serenity. It allows us to momentarily escape from our busy lives and immerse ourselves in nature's embrace. Orpen's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he skillfully portrays not only the natural landscape but also conveys emotions through his portrayal of this solitary figure lost in contemplation. We are left wondering about her thoughts and what draws her gaze towards that distant horizon. This piece serves as a reminder of how art has the power to transport us across time and space while evoking deep emotions within us. "A Breezy Day: Howth Head" is truly one of Sir William Newenham Montague Orpen's masterpieces that continues to captivate viewers even after all these years.
