Summary: Seascape with Figures
Key dates:
In 1914 Sean Keating followed Yeats and Paul Henry in touring the west of Ireland. This work, Seascape with figures pays tribute to the independent lifestyle of the Aran Islands as characterised by the lone figure of a woman. This view of a proud, simple, independent people offered an artist’s preview of a new Irish nation which would be free from Britain.
