Collection: Percy French

Irish Landscape, Light & Poetic Atmosphere

Museum-quality reproductions celebrating the work of Percy French (1854–1920), one of Ireland’s most distinctive cultural figures and a master interpreter of Irish landscape and atmosphere. Best known as a songwriter and satirist, French was also an accomplished visual artist whose paintings capture Ireland’s skies, quiet roads, and rural scenes with lyricism and gentle restraint.

Cultural Narrative

Working at the intersection of art, music, and storytelling, Percy French brought a uniquely human sensibility to his visual work. His landscapes reflect the same wit, warmth, and observational clarity found in his writing—favouring mood, light, and atmosphere over formal drama.

French’s paintings often depict open countryside, solitary trees, expansive skies, and everyday rural moments. Through subtle colour and expressive economy, his work presents Ireland as lived and felt rather than idealised—poetic, familiar, and quietly resonant.
