Painting Dublin, 1886 – 1949: Visualising a Changing City

Although a well-established subject in the history of art, depictions of the city or urban environment have long been overlooked in Ireland in favour of the rural and pastoral. Drawing on her publication, ‘Painting Dublin, 1886 – 1949: Visualising a Changing City’, in this lecture Dr Kathryn Milligan will explore the representation of Ireland’s capital city through the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, looking, for example, at works by Rose Barton, Walter Osborne, Harry Kernoff, and Jack B. Yeats.
