| Sir John Lavery |
The National Gallery of Ireland partnered with National Museums Northern Ireland and the National Galleries Scotland in an exhibition of more than 70 paintings by modern Irish master Sir John Lavery (1856-1941).
Dublin’s National Gallery of Ireland will be the first venue for the exhibition, which will then be staged at Belfast’s Ulster Museum (part of the National Museums Northern Ireland) from 23 February to 9 June 202, and) and the National Galleries Scotland in Edinburgh from 20 July to 27 October 2024.
The majority of Lavery’s solo exhibitions featured works related to his travels, with the artist painting the people and scenery around him. Lavery always travelled with his painting kit, a small ‘pochade’ box or a larger collapsible easel designed specifically for 25 x 30-inch canvases.
While not exclusively devoted to the notion of Lavery as artist-traveller, the exhibition focuses on some of the key destinations depicted in Lavery’s art including Scotland and Palm Springs, Spain and Switzerland.
The exhibition also includes on-the-spot studies he made in Switzerland, Spain, Ireland, and Italy, while cities from Glasgow to London, Venice, Cannes and New York are also represented.
The National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin is one of the country’s most popular visitor attractions housing the nation’s collection of European and Irish art from about 1300 to the present day.
