Description:
Over the last three decades the eminent art historian Desmond FitzGerald, Knight of Glin has assembled a collection of views of Ireland, ranging in date from the mid-eighteenth century to today. In Painting Ireland a selection of these are catalogued and discussed in close readings. The interdisciplinary approach to the material crosses boundaries of art, architectural, social and local history. While there is a particular focus on depictions of the great houses of Ireland, there are also images of castles, townscapes, gardens and garden buildings, archaeological remains and interiors. The publication is the most in-depth catalogue yet attempted of an Irish private collection, and continues Churchill House Press’ involvement in publishing little known aspects of Ireland’s art and architectural heritage.
