Sir John Lavery — Tennis, Hotel Beau Site, Cannes | Irish Art Print

A Riviera Afternoon, Frozen in Light In the winter of 1929, Sir John Lavery set up his easel beside the tennis courts of the Hotel Beau Site, Cannes — where white-clad figures played beneath the shade of orange trees and bundled spectators watched the pale Riviera sun. Tennis, Hotel Beau Site, Cannes is a painting about warmth remembered: unhurried afternoons, elegant company, and the particular golden light of the South of France that Lavery chased every winter. It belongs on a wall that deserves a story. About Sir John Lavery (1856–1941) One of Ireland's most celebrated masters, Sir John Lavery was portrait painter to royalty, an official war artist, and the great chronicler of Edwardian and interwar elegance. His wife Hazel's likeness graced Irish banknotes for over fifty years. His work hangs permanently in the National Gallery of Ireland, the Tate Britain, and the National Portrait Gallery, London. Owning a Lavery is owning a piece of Irish cultural history. The Art Lover's Gift Finding a meaningful gift for someone with taste is hard.
