Row over €150k painting found in dump to be settled
English tourist Tony Varney claims to have found Children Under a Palm Tree, a previously unknown water-colour by Winslow Homer (1836-1910), one of America’s most important 19th century artists, dumped near a rubbish tip in east Cork over 30 years ago.
Mr Varney said he found the painting, along with other works of art, while on a fishing trip on the River Blackwater near Youghal.
