Nathaniel Hill was born in Drogheda and studied in Dublin before going to the Academy in Antwerp (1881 – 1883) to study under Verlat at the same time as Walter Osborne and Joseph Malachy Kavanagh. He was in Brittany during the autumn of 1883 and stayed at the famous artists' inn Maison Gloanec, the same inn used by O’Kelly and Hovenden.
The subject matter of his work is very similar to that of Osborne. It is thought they painted side-by-side on many occasions. The subject of this work is a
house situated just behind the main square in Pont Aven distinctive for its steps up to a double doorway and pigeon loft.
Nathaniel Hill featured in "The French Connection" (2010) exhibition. Please click here to view the catalogue.
