  • Painting Description

    "Snap-Apple Night" is an 1833 painting by Irish artist Daniel Maclise (1806–1870), which captures the festivities of All Hallows' Eve, a precursor to the modern Halloween. The painting, also known as "Allhallows Eve" or "Halloween," is renowned for its detailed depiction of a traditional Irish celebration, showcasing a variety of customs and activities associated with the holiday.

    The work is a large oil on canvas, measuring approximately 91 x 173 cm, and is held in the collection of the Crawford Art Gallery in Cork, Ireland. Maclise's painting is celebrated for its vibrant portrayal of the revelry and merriment of the rural Irish peasantry during the 19th century. The scene is set in a barn, with a diverse array of characters engaged in games and dances, illuminated by the warm glow of lanterns and candles.

    Central to the composition is the game of snap-apple, where participants attempt to bite an apple suspended from a string, a traditional game played on Halloween. The painting also includes other customs such as storytelling, fortune-telling, and the playing of music, encapsulating the communal spirit and cultural significance of the holiday.

    "Snap-Apple Night" is considered an important work in Maclise's oeuvre, reflecting his interest in folklore and the customs of his native country. The painting is noted for its fine detail, dynamic composition, and the artist's ability to capture the nuances of human expression and interaction. It serves as a valuable historical record of 19th-century Irish life and contributes to the understanding of the cultural practices surrounding Halloween.

    Daniel Maclise, a member of the Royal Academy, was a prominent figure in Victorian art, and his works often depicted historical and literary subjects. "Snap-Apple Night" stands out as a particularly engaging example of his genre paintings, offering insight into the social history of Ireland and the enduring traditions that continue to shape the celebration of Halloween today.
