Lot description
incised with signature l.r.: RBeechey oil on canvas CATALOGUE NOTE The present view looks out towards the Dublin mountains with the East pier on the left and the town hall, the Royal St George Yacht Club and the Royal Irish Yacht Club in the background. It is fitting that one of Beechey's most famous views, Yacht Race in Dublin Bay (1874), is now in the collection of the latter. Although Beechey was English and the son of the portrait painter Sir William Beechey, his wife was Irish and they moved to Monkstown, Co. Dublin where they lived until 1877. Beechey had reached the rank of Admiral in the Navy and painted many seascapes whilst working with the Navy in the Shannon and off the West coast of Ireland. After his retirement in 1864, he was able to devote his time to capturing the coastal views and activities closer to home in co. Dublin.
