James Humbert Craig RHA RUA (1877-1944) Mayo in October Oil on canvas, 39.4 x 51cm (15½ x 20'') Signed. Signed again and inscribed with title verso Provenance: Victor Waddington Galleries, Dublin, 12th November 1940, where purchased by J.P. Reihill Snr., Deepwell, Blackrock, Co. Dublin Craig portrayed the ever-changing Irish light and skies with consummate skill. In terms of technique, this highly atmospheric, ''plein-airist'' painting displays strong use of impasto with some of the pigment probably having been squeezed directly from the tube. An extremely tonal palette is employed here, the only highlights being touches of yellow ochre at the foot of the distant mountain which is bathed in sunlight.
