Abstract

The paper analyses the artistic career of the Irish painter Nathaniel Hone the Younger with a focus on his period of study and residence in France, particularly in Barbizon. It analyses the infl uence of Thomas Couture and Camille Corot on Hone’s artistic evolution, and how the traditions of the Barbizon school are embodied in his landscape painting. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis of Corot’s infl uence on the colour palette, compositional decisions, and technical aspects of Hone’s landscape painting. Further consideration is given to the specifi cs of Hone’s art following his return to his home country of Ireland, in particular, the subtle shifts in his creative approach, the retention and progression of skills acquired at Barbizon, and their adaptation within the unique context of the Irish landscape
