Thaddeus was a fi fteenth-century bishop of Cork who was honoured
in both Ireland and Italy. He led a remarkable life – he was made
bishop twice, and was beatifi ed in 1895 – but is now all but
forgotten. In Searching for Thaddeus, art historian Patricia
Curtin-Kelly tells the tale of this re markable man, and discusses
the many works of art – found mainly in churches acro ss County
Cork and in Ivrea, Italy – that bear witness to the high esteem
in which he was held. Searching for Thaddeus features numerous
photographs of the remarkable artworks which celebrate “Blessed
Thaddeus” – painti ngs, stained-glass windows and reliquaries
– and the churches in which they can be seen. It is a highly read
able book about a remarkable son of Cobh.
