View of Carlingford Harbour from the New Road to Hillsborough behind Rostrevor - Fisher, Jonathan (Irish painter, active 1763, died 1809) (My University, 2008)
Fisher was a painter and engraver in Ireland, working after the Dutch and Italian landscape painting tradition. He is best known by engravings after his designs, of which a large number were produced during his career. A later engraving of this scene was dedicated to Lord Hillsborough, later the Marquis of Downshire.[notes from Irish Paintings in the `National Gallery of Ireland?, 2001]
