Artist: Edwin Hayes RHA RI (1820-1904) Title: Lobster Fishing, Dublin Bay Signature: signed lower right Medium: oil on canvas Size: 41 x 61cm (16.1 x 24in) Framed Size: 51.3 x 71.3cm (20.2 x 28.1in) Provenance: Gorry Gallery, Dublin; These Rooms, 19th April 2021 lot 83; Private Collection a#morebtn { color: #de1d01; } a#morebtn:hover { cursor: pointer;} This fine painting by Edwin Hayes depicts a lobster boat at sunset in Dublin Bay, with the coastline of Sandymount, Ringsend and Clontarf extending as far as Howth Head on the right, partly obscured by the South Wall and low-lying Bull Island.

Read more Edwin Hayes Lot 98 - 'Lobster Fishing, Dublin Bay' Estimate: €8,000 - €12,000 This fine painting by Edwin Hayes depicts a lobster boat at sunset in Dublin Bay, with the coastline of Sandymount, Ringsend and Clontarf extending as far as Howth Head on the right, partly obscured by the South Wall and low-lying Bull Island. A plume of smoke marks the conical tower of a pottery or brick kiln at Ringsend. In the prow of the rowing boat, a fisherman stands, holding a lobster pot. The oars are manned by two fishermen seated amidships. Although Edwin Hayes lived in the era of steam travel, the majority of his paintings depict rowing boats and vessels under sail. A keen mariner himself, he recorded the beauty of the sea, but also its dangers. Often in his work, an ageing barque is seen on its way to the breaker's yard, and where steamships do appear, there is generally a narrative relating to the passing of sail. His art reflects a Victorian belief in destiny made manifest through the power of nature, and the transience of life. In his After the Storm, Irish Coast, beachcombers salvage timber from a shipwreck, while in Hauling Boats Ashore, fishermen struggle to protect their craft from the wind-whipped seas. Inclement weather, cold and restless seas, death, and danger, are ever-present in his canvases; but he frequently included, at the edge or in the background, a safe haven, represented by a pier or harbour lighthouse-or, in this case, the solid bulk of the Martello Tower on Dalkey Island. Although born in Bristol in 1819, Hayes grew up in Dublin, and while still in his teens, enrolled at the Dublin Society Drawing Schools. Many of the customers in the tavern run by his father, close to the Liffey quays, would have been seamen, and this may have influenced him to become a marine painter. A keen yachtsman, he had a sailboat in which he explored Dublin Bay and the Irish Sea, venturing as far as West Cork. Hayes exhibited at the RHA from 1842 onwards, was elected ARHA in 1853 and a full member eighteen years later. In 1853, his Emigrant Ship, Dublin Bay (National Gallery of Ireland) was shown at the Royal Hibernian Academy. That same year he moved to London, where he worked as a theatre scene painter, exhibited at the Royal Academy and travelled extensively in England and the Netherlands, while continuing to send works to Dublin. His Sunset at Sea, a view at Harlyn Bay, Cornwall, exhibited at the RA in 1894, is now in Tate Britain. In 1860 Hayes was elected an associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water-colours, becoming a full member three years later. He also showed regularly with the New Watercolour Society and the British Institution. At the peak of his career, his paintings were highly popular, and were regularly reproduced as engravings and lithographs. The Queen's Departure from Kingstown Harbour, August 10th. 1849 (1851), shown at the RHA in 1850, was lithographed by J. Needham Hoveller Boat, off Dalkey, a painting comparable in subject matter and setting to the present work, was reproduced in the Illustrated News of the World in 1858. Peter Murray, November 2021
