1861 Broken Carlingford Looking Moore Mourne Range Towards
EDITORS COMMENTS
From the Broken Mountain: A Glimpse into the Majestic Mourne Range (1861) by James Moore Nestled in the heart of County Down, Northern Ireland, lies the breathtaking Mourne Mountain Range, a landscape of unparalleled beauty and grandeur. This watercolour painting, titled "From the Broken Mountain: Looking Towards Carlingford" (1861), is the work of renowned Irish artist James Moore. Moore, born in 1819, was a master of capturing the essence of the Irish countryside through his art. In this particular piece, he invites us to gaze upon the Mourne Range from the vantage point of "The Broken Mountain." The name "Broken Mountain" is derived from the unique geological formation of the mountain, which appears to have been fractured by the hand of nature. The painting showcases the rugged, undulating terrain of the Mourne Mountains, with their distinctive granite outcrops and lush, verdant vegetation. The artist's expert use of watercolour on paper creates a sense of depth and texture, transporting the viewer into the very heart of this enchanting landscape. As we look towards Carlingford in this painting, we are treated to a stunning panorama of the Cooley Peninsula and the Irish Sea beyond. The play of light and shadow on the mountainside adds a sense of drama and mystery, while the tranquil waters of the sea provide a calming counterpoint to the mountain's raw power. This exquisite work of art, created by James Moore in 1861, offers a glimpse into the timeless beauty of the Mourne Mountains and serves as a testament to the artist's mastery of his craft. It invites us to pause and reflect on the natural wonders of the world and the profound impact they can have on our souls.
