Robert James Enraght Moony (1879-1946) was a painter and illustrator of landscapes and symbolist works invoking the realism of the Pre-Raphaelite genre and his interest in old Celtic fairy lore and mysticism. He was born at Doon, Athlone, where his family has been resident for nearly one thousand years, and was educated at Galway Grammar School. In the late-1890s he travelled to France where he studied at the Académie Julian, Paris under Jean-Paul Laurens (French, 1838-1921) and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant (French, 1845-1902). Later, he embarked on a painting tour of Italy where, according to art researcher, Nicola Gordon Bowe, Enraght Moony was heavily influenced by the works of Giovanni Segantini (Italian, 1858-1899), a Neo-Impressionist painter of Symbolist images. He lived and worked in a studio in Mount Hawke, Cornwall between 1927 and 1938, and was a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists and the Sheffield Society of Art. He first exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin in 1903. He also exhibited at Beaux Arts, the Fine Art Society, the Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, the Manchester City Art Gallery, the New English Art Club, the Newlyn Art Gallery, the Royal Academy, London, the Royal Institute and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
