Treasures from the North: Irish Paintings

Roderic O’Conor - Field of Corn, Pont-Aven

My father in law just sent me this story about a new exhibit at the National Gallery in Dublin called Treasures from the North: Irish Paintings. The Ulster Museum (Northern Ireland) is closed until 2009 for remodeling so some of their collection will be on display at the National Gallery in Dublin until September. An Irish peace offering perhaps?

I can’t wait to see this exhibit, although I think I’ll hold off until after this weekend. There are some really cool paintings and I love the one I’ve put here in this post. Though it’s not in Dublin, I also thought Macoosh might enjoy John Locke’s portrait; there’s a cool video on the site.

If you’re in Dublin between now and September, it looks like the National Gallery of Ireland is worth a visit.
