Aloysius O'Kelly (1853-1936) Breton Fisherman Beside A Stream Oil on canvas, 51.5 x 80.75cm (20 x 31.75) Signed Exhibited: ''Aloysius O'Kelly Exhibition'', Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin, Nov. 1999 - January 2000, cat. no. 12 Clearly painted sur le motif, Fisherman by a Stream is an early work, painted on the banks of the Aven, as it flows through the Bois d'Amour (identifiable from turn-of-the-century post-cards). From a contemporary , this would appear to have been painted in the mid 1870s, when O'Kelly was in residence in Pont-Aven, Brittany, and sold a few years later, titled Fishing, by Goupil, in New York (where his brother, James, who acted as his agent, then lived). In contrast to the darkness of some of his genre interiors, O'Kelly's winter landscapes emanate a chilly luminescence evocative of the Breton climate at this time of year.
