oil on canvas

CATALOGUE NOTE

James Coy studied landscape painting under Robert Carver and George Mullins. When Carver moved to London he offered Coy the opportunity of joining him. Coy was clearly establishing an independent landscape practice in Ireland since this offer was rejected. He seems to have painted scenes predominantly of County Wicklow, and in 1770 he won a Dubln Society Premium. While painting for Lord Altamont at Westport, County Mayo he caught a chill, of which he later died. His style resembles that of Thomas Roberts.
