Paul Henry, a post-Impressionist painter, is good at landscape painting. The world he paints is always clean and beautiful. The blue sky is full of white clouds and people are leisurely doing farm work. His painting makes people want to live in the picture, feel the beauty every day.

Paul Henry R.H.A. (1876-1958), one of the most influential and well-known landscape artists in the 20th century in Ireland, was born in Belfast, Ireland and studied at the Belfast Academy of Art. In 1898, he went to study at the Julian Academy in Paris and was influenced by Jean Francois Millet's rural realism.

Later, he moved to Academie Carmen, opened by James Abbott McNeill Whistler. In Paris, he met his first wife, grace, and married in 1903. Henry worked in London until 1910, when he had been painting for books and magazines. In 1912, Henry moved to Achill Island, where the local scenery became the main theme of his paintings.

In 1920, Henry moved to Dublin and established the Dublin Painters Association with his wife, Jack B. Yeats and Mary Swanzy and other painters. In 1929, he separated from his wife. He stayed in Dublin for twelve years, frequently traveling back to western Ireland, and then moved to Wicklow with his second wife, artist Mabel Young, who married in 1954.

Paul Henry is widely regarded as the most important landscape painter in Ireland. His works can be found in the National Gallery of Ireland, Hugh Lane Gallery, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Ulster Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris.
