About the Art: Superior Edition
About the Artist:
Joy was born in Dublin 7 July 1844. Joy was the son of William Bruce-Joy, MD, and the brother of sculptor Albert Bruce-Joy, descendents of an old Huguenot family which settled in Antrim in 1612. He was initially torn between the idea of pursuing a career as an artist or violin player. Joy settled upon art, and was educated in London's South Kensington School of Art and later at the Royal Academy under John Everett Millais, Frederic Leighton, Hubert von Herkomer and George Frederic Watts.
In 1868 he traveled to Paris where he was a student of Charles-François Jalabert and Léon Bonnat. He became a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 1896 and also exhibited at the Royal Academy and the Royal Hibernian Academy. Both of his sons were killed in 1915 during World War I.
