Paula Murphy, the leading expert on Irish sculpture, offers an
extensive survey of the history of sculpture in Ireland in the
nineteenth century, with particular emphasis on the large public
works produced during the Victorian period. The works of such major
figures as Patrick MacDowell, John Henry Foley, Thomas Kirk, and
Thomas Farrell are discussed -as well as works by a host of
lesser-known sculptors, including John Edward Carew, Christopher
Moore, James Cahill, and Joseph Robinson Kirk. Lavishly
illustrated, the book covers the work of many Irish sculptors who
practiced abroad, particularly in London, and the work of English
sculptors, including John Flaxman, Francis Chantrey, E. H. Baily,
and Richard Westmacott, who were located in Ireland. Murphy makes
extensive use of contemporary documentation, much of it from
newspapers, to present the sculptors and their work in the
religious and political context of their time. Published for the
Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
