Shame on Co. Down: A Watercolour Masterpiece by James Moore of Newcastle Pier, Co. Down (1870) This exquisite watercolour painting, titled 'Shame on Co. Down,' is a breathtaking representation of Newcastle Pier in County Down, Northern Ireland, created by renowned Irish artist James Moore in 1870. The pier, a popular tourist destination and an essential part of the local community, is depicted in all its glory, with the sun casting a warm, golden light over the tranquil waters. James Moore, born in 1819, was a prolific watercolour artist who captured the essence of the Irish landscape in his works. His mastery of the medium is evident in this stunning piece, which showcases the intricate details of the pier's architecture, the undulating waves, and the boats moored in the harbour. The title 'Shame on Co. Down' is a mystery, and the reason behind it remains unknown. Some speculate that it may have been a nod to the county's past struggles or a commentary on the local community. Regardless, the painting remains a captivating and enigmatic piece of Irish art history. Measuring approximately 12 x 16 inches, this watercolour on paper is a rare and valuable find for any collector of Irish art or those with an appreciation for the beauty of the Irish coastline. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to the shores of County Down over a century ago.
