A sweeping survey of the arts of Ireland spanning 150 years and an
astonishing range of artists and media This groundbreaking book
captures a period in Ireland's history when countless foreign
architects, artisans, and artists worked side by side with their
native counterparts. Nearly all of the works within this remarkable
volume-many of them never published before-have been drawn from
North American collections. This catalogue accompanies the first
exhibition to celebrate the Irish as artists, collectors, and
patrons over 150 years of Ireland's sometimes turbulent history.
Featuring the work of a wide range of artists-known and unknown-and
a diverse array of media, the catalogue also includes an impressive
assembly of essays by a pre-eminent group of international experts
working on the art and cultural history of Ireland. Major essays
discuss the subjects of the Irish landscape and tourism, Irish
country houses, and Dublin's role as a center of culture and
commerce. Also included are numerous shorter essays covering a full
spectrum of topics and artworks, including bookbinding, ceramics,
furniture, glass, mezzotints, miniatures, musical instruments,
pastels, silver, and textiles. Distributed for the Art Institute of
Chicago Exhibition Schedule: The Art Institute of Chicago
