That Ireland is picturesque is a well-worn cliche, but little is
understood of how this perception was created, painted, and
manipulated during the long 18th century. This book positions
Ireland at the core of the picturesque's development and argues for
a far greater degree of Irish influence on the course of European
landscape theory and design. Positioned off-axis from the greater
force-field, and off-shore from mainland Europe and America, where
better to cultivate the oblique perspective? This book charts the
creation of picturesque Ireland, while exploring in detail the role
and reach of landscape painting in the planning, publishing,
landscaping and design of Ireland's historic landscapes, towns, and
tourist routes. Thus it is also a history of the physical shaping
of Ireland as a tourist destination, one of the earliest, most
calculated, and most successful in the world. Published for the
Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
