The discovery of this remarkable watercolour on paper, a version of Aloysius O’Kelly’s chef d’oeuvre, Mass in a Connemara Cabin (1883), is of considerable artistic and historical importance. Quite apart from their exceptional quality, the ex*****on of these images, at a moment when radical Fenianism and land agitation sought a rapprochement with the Catholic Church, makes them very interesting images indeed.

This exceptional work by Aloysius O’Kelly will go under the hammer tonight for our Important Irish Art auction, starting at 6pm.

Lot 18. Aloysius O’Kelly, Mass In A Connemara Cabin, c.1883

Dapping on Lough Mask, Co. Mayo […] is a rare, later example which includes the presence of human activity within the immense natural environment of the west and it exudes a simplicity and timelessness for which the artist has since become associated.
