Read more Edwin Hayes Lot 45 - 'Holy Island, Isle of Arran (1862)' Estimate: €6,000 - €9,000 A variety of vessels are depicted in this dramatic panoramic view of Lamlash Bay on the island of Arran, off the west coast of Scotland. The painting depicts the aftermath of a storm, with flotsam and jetsam strewn along the shoreline. In the right foreground, braving the waves, fishermen in a rowing boat struggle to pull in nets and lobster pots. Behind, a fishing boat, larboards raised and sails shortened, makes for the shore. To the left, on a storm-battered pier, a fisherman loads nets onto a horse-drawn cart. Beached nearby, a fishing boat is being repaired. Further out to sea, two battleships ride at anchor, while further sailing vessels are visible in the distance. In the background can be seen Holy Isle, with its peak, Mullach Mór, shrouded in clouds. The scene depicted by Hayes in 1862 has changed relatively little over the years. The pier is now a solid, stone-built affair, the town has developed and the shoreline has been neatened up. In contrast with Hayes's depiction of marine detritus, nets and lobster pots, Lamlash Bay is today a protected marine environment, where fishing is prohibited. The view of Holy Isle remains unchanged. In early medieval times, the Isle provided a refuge for the Irish hermit St. Molaise, and for centuries bore the name 'Ealain Molaise'. At the time Hayes was working, there was considerable interest in the saint, and Margaret Stokes's article on the Gospel of St. Molaise was published in 1871. Over the past three decades, the Isle, now owned by the Samyé Ling Buddhist Community, has served as a retreat centre. Although born in Bristol in 1819, Edwin 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 Hayes to become a marine painter. A keen yachtsman, he had a sail boat 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 His Hoveller Boat, off Dalkey was reproduced in the Illustrated News of the World in 1858. Peter Murray, March 2022
