Description: | George Bernard O'Neill was of irish origin. His father was a bank clerk and he was the ninth of fifteen children. George studied at the Royal Academy schools. He was introduced to Cranbrook by his cousin, the painter JC Horsley and moved there in 1867, renting Old Willesley Hall. It was magnificent timber framed house with a great deal of romantic and historical appeal and was often featured in his work. Like the other Cranbrook artists, he painted a rosy version of countrylife.
