Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the message of Irish 19th-century landscape painting, in an attempt to link physical space with national and cultural identity. It examines the artistic legacy of British-Irish relations, discussing metaphors found in selected works of art, while placing the landscape artists within the frame of reference of the colonial narrative of Ireland as the Other.
