First published in 1913, this highly illustrated two-volume work
was intended to give as full an account as possible of the lives
and works of painters, sculptors and engravers in Ireland from the
earliest times to the nineteenth century. Until then, the history
of Irish art had been largely neglected, so this project was an
extensive undertaking for Walter George Strickland (1850 1928), who
became Director of the National Gallery of Ireland. It took him two
decades to compile, and involved accessing private collections,
corresponding with experts, meeting with the artists' descendants,
and consulting letters, diaries and notes relating to their works.
Volume 1 covers artists with surnames beginning A to K. Each entry
contains biographical information on the artist and details of
their works, with portraits and examples provided in hundreds of
plates. This unique reference work remains of great interest to art
historians and historians of Ireland.
