Through the lens of art, this book focuses on Irish people engaged
in recreational activities across the last two centuries. Arranged
thematically, it covers sport, music and dance, visits to the
beach, religious observance and pilgrimage, theatre, circus,
calendar customs, fairs and markets, pubs, clubs, and parades. The
aim is to investigate the lives of Irish people away from work and
to celebrate the richness and diversity of Irish society across
class, community, geography, and generation, as recorded by some of
the finest artists practising in the country. the book brings
together works by some of Ireland's most accomplished figurative
painters of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries,
including Richard Brydges Beechey, William Conor, William van der
Hagen, Paul Henry, Sean Keating, Harry Kernoff, Charles Lamb, John
Lavery, Richard Thomas Moynan, James Arthur O'Connor, William
Osborne, Joseph Tudor, and Jack B. Yeats.
