Figures at an inn at the entrance to Cork Harbour Oil on panel Enclosed in a decorative frame Note: Nathaniel Grogan (1740-1807) was an artist from county Cork who painted landscapes, topographical scenes and genre subjects. He worked both in oil paint and watercolours. At an early age he travelled to America and the West Indies but did not remain long and returned to Cork where hemenced a career as an artist and teacher. He enjoyed a steady demand for his paintings from the new merchants of the city and wasmissioned to decorate their mansions. (See for example his work at Vernon Mount House.) Both his landscape work and his interior genre scenes were much influenced by the Dutch artists of the seventeenth-century. Grogan’s figures are particularly indebted to the work of Egbert Van Heemskerck (1634-1704). In 1796 he published a set of twelve aquatints depicting scenes in and around Cork. His work was popular in his lifetime. Works by Grogan can be seen at the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin and the Crawford Art Gallery, Cork. (Lot 140)Dimensions: 35 x 48.5 cm.
