拍品資料及來源

Robert Tonge's talented artistic career was cut short by his early death at the age of 33. His landscapes and coastal views are distinguished by their sensitive rendering of light, as seen in the present example's dramatic view of MacGillicuddie’s Reeks. Although based in Liverpool, England, like other contemporaries (see lot 36), he travelled to Ireland to paint its majestic scenery.
