Jack Butler Yeats was an Irish artist whose work is imbued with elements of Romanticism. Though he began his career as an illustrator, he later turned to oil painting, creating lyrical depictions of landscapes and figures, often inspired by the west of Ireland. Beyond his visual art, Yeats possessed a profound interest in theater and literature, designing stage sets and crafting novels in a stream-of-consciousness style, alongside insightful essays.
