Murlough Bay and Fair Head, Coast of Antrim – Collector’s Edition Fine Art Print

Immerse yourself in the majesty of Ireland’s northern coastline with this Collector’s Edition, museum-quality reproduction of Murlough Bay and Fair Head, Coast of Antrim by Bartholomew Colles Watkins. Printed on Master’s Edition archival paper and available in premium hardwood frames, this heirloom artwork is ideal for collectors, heritage lovers and anyone drawn to Ireland’s wild coastal landscapes.

A Masterpiece of Natural Grandeur

Just east of Ballycastle lies Murlough Bay, one of the most remote and dramatic stretches of the Antrim coast. Watkins captures its sheer cliffs, wind-carved rocks and rolling Atlantic waves with remarkable precision. A solitary young figure walking the shoreline underscores the bay’s isolation, while the angular mass of Fair Head rises powerfully in the distance.

The painting blends Romantic atmosphere with academic detail: the glint of light on wet rock, the froth of breaking waves and the subtle gradation of distant hills all reveal Watkins’ technical brilliance and deep understanding of the Irish landscape.

The Artist Behind the Landscape

Bartholomew Colles Watkins (1833–1891) travelled widely through Ireland and Europe, developing a profound connection to mountainous and coastal scenery. His journeys to Cork and Kerry in the 1850s, and later to Norway, shaped his approach to grandeur, scale and atmospheric light.

His paintings evoke the quiet poetry of James Arthur O’Connor while reflecting the polished technique of 19th-century academic art. This work, part of the National Gallery of Ireland Collection, is one of the defining visions of the Antrim coastline.
