VIEW OVER DUBLIN FROM RATHFARNHAM Oil on canvas, 30" x 42" (76.2 x 106.7cm), signed.

Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist and by descent to the present owner.

Sean Keating was born in Limerick but moved to Dublin in 1911 to study at the Metropolitan School of Art under William Orpen. He was to become Orpen's most important pupil and his academic painting style owes a great debt to his teacher. He worked as an assistant to Orpen in England, and tried to convince Orpen to return to Ireland to lead the revival in visual art. Keating himself returned to Ireland; he felt that his mission was to help to define Irish nationhood through his painting.

For many years Keating resided in Rathfarnham and is buried at Cruagh Cemetry.

    IF A BID IS RECEIVED WITHIN THE FINAL 45 SECONDS OF THE COUNTDOWN THE CLOCK WILL RESET TO 60 SECONDS. 

    At any point you can leave a maximum bid, representing the highest price you are prepared to pay for a particular lot. Bidding only advances when there is competition from a rival bidder. In that case the system bids on your behalf, only up to the maximum if required. All bids are relayed to you be email, along with notification if you have been outbid. 
     
    All maximum bids are confidential and not disclosed. The system will endeavor to purchase the lot for you for the least price. Bids are subject to buyer’s premium of 25% (incl vat), with no additional charges.

    In the event of a tied bid, the preference will be given to the bid submitted first. The second bidder will receive immediate notification of being outbid.
