Robert Enraght-Moony (1879-1946) was born in Athlone and was educated at Galway Grammar School and in Devon.
He was greatly influenced by the Symbolist style of Italian Post-Impressionist Giovanni Segantini, painting landscapes filled with symbolist themes that reflected his interest in Celtic folklore and mysticism.
During the 1890s he went to Paris where he studied under Jean-Paul Laurens (1838-1921). He exhibited widely at such prestigious institutions as the Royal Academy, New English Art Club and Royal Hibernian Academy.
He illustrated Kenneth Grahame's book, The Golden Age, in 1915.

William Orpen's 'To the Unknown British Soldier in France'
There is a fascinating story about this picture that not only highlights the pomposity and arrogance of the politicians of the time of World War I but has also introduced me to the word 'vainglory', which I hadn't heard before but which is no doubt appropriate for some of today's leaders.
