2023 Art Commission
The River Boyne
Marie Hartig
Oil on canvas
50 x 70 cm
This year the Boyne Music Festival commissioned artist Marie Hartig to paint an image to celebrate the festival’s 10th anniversary. The work was to express the vibrancy of the Boyne Valley and use the River Boyne as a central subject. After a weekend visit to the place the BMF calls home, Marie painted the exhibited work at her studio in Vienna.
“The River Boyne” captures the spirit of this special place and features Townley Hall in the distance. The image was used by the BMF as a basis for promotional material in 2023 and the festival is now delighted to offer the opportunity for the public to purchase fine art prints of this painting for their own homes. There are a limited number (11/15) of signed (50 x 70 cm) art prints still available, as well as smaller (30 x 40cm) prints available for purchase as well.
Art prints were printed on high quality Hahnemühle paper by FARBPRAXIS - Kunstdruck Gorisek in Vienna, Austria.
All proceeds of the sale of these prints will go to support the Boyne Music Festival, which runs as a non-profit and is powered in a large part by volunteers. The original painting sold for 1005 Eur in an auction during the 2023 Boyne Music Festival.
