James Richard Marquis RHA (1833 - 1885) Morning off Ireland's Eye - Lobster Fishing Oil on canvas, 88.5 x 134.5cm (34¾ x 53) Signed and dated 1865 Described by Walter Strickland with somewhat faint praise as enjoying some reputation in his day as a painter , Marquis, the son of a Scottish builder of James Street East in Dublin entered the School of Landscape and Ornament at the Dublin Society Schools in 1847, winning a premium in 1852 and a medal the following year. William Laffan, in his entry on Marquis in Painting 1600 1900 (RIA, 2014) notes that his art conforms to the Victorian academic tradition and that his reasonably large oeuvre demonstrates the quality and variety of his work. In an 1864 review in The Irish Times, the papers critic complimented Marquis, noting that he surpassed his peers, and that he possessed a more distinctly marked and vigorous style and that his paintings could be picked out at first sight without the aid of the catalogue. The critic also observed Of all the landscape painters who exhibit he is pre-eminent as a colourist, and it is for this reason, perhaps that he undertakes subjects which afford higher scope to an artist of his class Rare and brilliant sunsets, strange fantastic skies, dark swelling seas supply him with his inspiration.

JAMES RICHARD MARQUIS, RHA (fl.1853-1885)Shipping off Howth Harbour, looking towards Ireland's EyeOil on canvas, 61 x 92cmSignedSon of George Marquis, a Scottish builder, of James Street E, Dublin, and Park House, Baldoyle, James became a pupil in the Royal Dublin Societys School in 1847, and afterwards practised as a landscape and marine painter in Dublin. He began to exhibit in the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1853; was elected an Associate in 1861, and a Member the following September. Between 1853 and 1885 he exhibited over 200 works at the RHA. He later went to London, but continued to send his pictures to the Dublin Academy until his death in 1885, and also made a few contributions to the London exhibitions. Towards the end of his life he married and lived mostly in Edinburgh. He exhibited in the Royal Scottish Academy from 1869 to 1873, when he was living in Edinburgh. Walter Strickland notes that Marquis enjoyed some reputation in his day as a painter, but his works are now seldom met with. Several examples, one at least of considerable merit, belong to Mr. MacDougal of Drumleck, Howth.Marquis was equally adept at landscapes as he was at coastal and pure marine works and the range of titles of works exhibited by him reflects this. The present work depicting a fishing boat returning to Howth Harbour, to the north of Dublin is one of many paintings of scenes around Howth and Baldoyle painted by Marquis. The fishing boat is heading away from us and in choppy seas is making headway towards the harbour which can be seen on the very left of the composition. The mass of Irelands Eye with its Martello tower on one side and the Stacks on the other neatly balances the red sails of the prominent fishing boat. Behind one of the fishermen can be seen Lambay Island in the distance. A small piece of flotsam in the foreground also adds to the composition by drawing the viewers eye from the base of the painting upwards in a zig-zag direction and leaves you admiring the expanse of wind blown sky which is painted with great skill.
