William Davis painted quiet Irish landscapes in oils. His A View of Rye Water near Leixlip shows a still river bend framed by low hills and a single distant boat, a typical scene from the mid-1800s Irish countryside. Little else is known about him, but this single canvas offers a window into how people once looked at rural waterways before industry changed the view. Tap the title to step closer to the quiet banks of the Rye Water.
