Alfred Downing Fripp (1822-1895)Pilgrim Approaching the Altar Site at ClonmacnoiseWatercolour, 74 x 57cm (29¼ x 22½)Signed and inscibed with title on artist's label versoAlfred Fripp was born in Bristol and studied at the British Museum and Royal Academy School. He exhibited regularly with The Royal Watercolour Society (where he was secretary from 1870 to 1895), at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, and had eight titles at Dublin's Royal Hibernian Academy between 1844 and 1853. Frederick Goodall encouraged him to visit Ireland, and together with Francis William Topham and Mark Anthony they worked together during several visits to Galway from 1844 onwards. Their focus on poor rural Irish culture has resulted in a unique legacy of related work. Fripp visited Ireland between 1844-53. This work is thought to be one that he completed for an illustrated book on Clonmacnoise published in 1846. He also exhibited three works of Clonmacnoise at The Society of Painters in Watercolour in 1851. Clonmacnoise is one of Ireland's most famous ancient monasteries founded by Saint Ciarán in the sixth century. It was where the nobility of Connaught had their children educated and thus its name which translates the secluded recess of the sons of Nobles'. For many centuries it was the favoured burial place of Irish Kings and many believed right into the 19th Century that all persons interred there would pass immediately from Earth to Heaven. It was in fact a settlement of some considerable size as reflected in the number of crosses, churches and towers still surviving. It was situated on an important site at a crossing of the Shannon on the main East to West road and still impressive today especially if approached by boat.

Alfred Fripp was born in Bristol, and studied at the British Museum and Royal Academy School. He exhibited regularly with the Royal Watercolour Society (where he was secretary from 1870 to 1895), at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, and eight titles at Dublin's Royal Hibernian Academy between 1844 and 1853. Frederick Goodall encouraged him to visit Ireland, and together with Francis William Topham and Mark Anthony they worked together during several visits to Galway from 1844 onwards. Their focus on poor rural Irish culture has resulted in a unique legacy of related work. Fripp visited Ireland between 1844-53 and illustrated a book on Clonmacnoise in 1846. He exhibited several works over the years with Galway titles. A smaller version of this work, perhaps a study as it is dated a year earlier, turned up in Christies in London in 2005 and is now in the collection of The National Library of Ireland. It was exhibited in the Crawford Gallery Exhibition ''Whipping the herring'' in 2006 where Claudia Kinmonth draws ones attention to the empty woven basket called a skib, which was the traditional substitution for a table where people gathered around to eat the potatoes communally with their hands. The dresser which normally contained the family's most prized possessions is nearly empty, no pot hangs from the fire and the skib is empty which are all symbolic of the household's poverty and hunger - a portent of the coming Great Hunger. We acknowledge with thanks Claudia Kinmonth's various writings on the subject of rural interiors which formed the basis of this catalogue entry.
