This is the biggest retrospective together with survey of Irish Gaelic fine art held inward the Great Britain for to a greater extent than or less 30+ years.
It opened yesterday at the Mall Galleries together with yous tin run into it every solar daytime until 31 May 2015 betwixt 10am to 5pm (it closes at 1pm on the concluding day).
The exhibition is a survey which covers a bridge of some 125 years.

Below you'll run into to a greater extent than or less photos of to a greater extent than or less of the works. There's a skillful make of paintings from dissimilar periods together with styles of painting.
What I liked most the exhibition is that in that place was a really distinct feel of it having links to the same cultural heritage amongst which nosotros are all familiar - together with yet beingness quite distinct together with having its ain unique identity at the same time.
The nearest analogy I tin laissez passer on is the means American Impressionism is really distinctly American every bit opposed to French.

Whistler's preference for simplifying subjects together with focusing on a make of color tones inward 1 color acre seems to get got had a clear touching on on Henry's work. However this is really clearly - at to the lowest degree to me - a epitome of Ireland.
Henry is an Irish Gaelic landscape painter who went on to larn 1 of the founders of the Society of Dublin Painters. You tin run into to a greater extent than of his paintings inward the collection of the National Gallery of Ireland.
Here are to a greater extent than or less paintings together with aspects I actually liked.

These are to a greater extent than paintings inward the exhibition. I didn't get got the peril to photograph the sculpture every bit it was yet beingness unwrapped together with positioned when I saw a preview - merely what I could run into of it looked excellent.
