Murlough Bay and Fair Head, Coast of Antrim – Timeless Irish Landscape Art Print

Murlough Bay and Fair Head, Coast of Antrim – Timeless Irish Landscape Art Print

Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Ireland’s rugged coastline with this luxurious reproduction print of Murlough Bay and Fair Head, Coast of Antrim, painted by the esteemed Irish landscape artist Bartholomew Colles Watkins.

A Masterpiece of Natural Majesty
Murlough Bay, located just a few miles east of Ballycastle, is one of the most stunning and remote spots along the celebrated County Antrim coast. Despite its breathtaking beauty, Murlough Bay remains relatively inaccessible, a quality Watkins skillfully emphasizes in this painting. The tiny cottage in the background is obscured, while the solitary figure of a young peasant girl stands on the beach, reinforcing the isolation of the scene. In contrast to the modest physical size of the painting, the landscape itself is imposing, dominated by the angular profile of Fair Head towering in the distance.

A Journey Through Ireland’s Countryside
Watkins developed a profound understanding of Ireland’s natural landscape through his travels across the country. His expeditions to West Cork and Kerry in the 1850s and his subsequent visit to Norway in 1860, where he was captivated by its vast mountainous expanses, heavily influenced his art. His work evokes the quiet beauty and harmony of nature, reminiscent of the Romantic landscapes of James Arthur O’Connor. At the same time, the meticulous detail and polished finish of Watkins' paintings reflect the methods of academically-trained artists across Europe during the period.
