Mary Swanzy HRHA (1882-1978)
A Wooded Landscape
Oil on panel, 30 x 36.7cm (11¾ x 14½”)
Signed
Provenance: Taylor Galleries, 1978, where purchased by John P. Reihill, Deepwell, Blackrock, Co. Dublin
Essentially Fauve in character, this painting is close in style to House in a Mountainous Landscape, known to date from
the period when the artist was dividing her time between Ireland and St. Tropez during the years of the First World War.
Probably a southern French view, light and the bright colours of the Mediterranean landscape infuse this work, the latter
being used as much for effect as for description which is a typically Fauvist trait.
