Superb Painting by Daniel Van der Putten. This is a beautiful Painting of one of Ireland's most beautiful areas in the Wicklow mountains (South of Dublin). Daniel Van Der Putten is Dutch born but resides and paints in the UK. Exhibited only in the finest Galleries, it is a great honour to have a Van Der Putten in my Gallery and to have the only Painting of Glendalough by Van Der Putten is a very rare honour.
