Est: £1,500 - £2,000
Robert James Enraght Moony, Irish 1879-1946 - The Hours of the Day, 1916; gouache and pencil on paper, signed lower left 'R J E Moony' and signed and dated with monogram lower left and lower right '1916', also with inscribed label attached to the reverse of the frame, 24.5 x 136 cm Note: a wonderful example of the burgeoning Pre-Raphaelites movement in Britain, Irish born Moony here creates a wonderful frieze to depict the allegorical hours of the day. Like his contemporaries Phoebe Anna Traquair and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Moony combines a modern sense of design with Symbolist to create a highly evocative work. The artist exhibited with the Fine Art Society, the Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, the Manchester City Art Gallery, the Royal Academy, London and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.

The Enchanted Wood—A reclining male nude, the shepherd Daphnis, with goats in a wooded landscape Tempera on panel Signed lower-left ‘RJ Enraght Moony’ Enclosed in original laurel leaf decorated frame Provenance: Probably exhibited at the St. Ives Society of Artists' exhibition ,1927—The Art Gallery, James Lanham Ltd., High St., St. Ives, Cornwall. label verso Robert James Enraght Moony (1879-1946) was a painter and illustrator of landscapes and symbolist works invoking the realism of the Pre-Raphaelite genre and his interest in old Celtic fairy lore and mysticism. He was born at Doon, Athlone, where his family has been resident for nearly one thousand years, and was educated at Galway Grammar School. In the late-1890s he travelled to France where he studied at the Académie Julian, Paris under Jean-Paul Laurens (French, 1838-1921) and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant (French, 1845-1902). Later, he embarked on a painting tour of Italy where, according to art researcher, Nicola Gordon Bowe, Enraght Moony was heavily influenced by the works of Giovanni Segantini (Italian, 1858-1899), a Neo-Impressionist painter of Symbolist images. He lived and worked in a studio in Mount Hawke, Cornwall between 1927 and 1938, and was a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists and the Sheffield Society of Art. He first exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin in 1903. He also exhibited at Beaux Arts, London (49); the Fine Art Society, London; the Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, Glasgow; the Manchester City Art Gallery, Manchester; the New English Art Club, London (20); the Newlyn Art Gallery, Newlyn; the Royal Academy, London (24); the Royal Institute, London; and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. Herbert Truman wrote an article in the St Ives Times: "[Living in St. Ives] is served by an agent for the framing and transport of pictures to and from London and provincial exhibitions and also for artists' materials. Lanham's Gallery, although small, is well-known and a great asset." According to Greek mythology, Daphnis was the son of Hermes. His mother, a nymph abandoned him under a laurel tree, where he was found by shepherds and named after the tree under which he was found. Dapnhis is often portrayed as the eromenos of Pan.

During the 1890s he went to Paris where he studied under Jean-Paul Laurens (1838-1921), and also travelled through Italy where, according to Nicola Gordon Bowe, he appears to have come under the influence of the Italian Symbolist painter Giovanni Segantini (1858-99). He first exhibited at the RHA in 1903 and at the RA in 1909. His work straddled a number of genres and styles, combining the heightened realism of the Pre-Raphaelites (see for instance his illustrations for Kenneth Graham's The Golden Age of 1915), with the otherworldl 'faery' subject matter much in vogue in Ireland during the Literary Revival.
