A DICTIONARY OF IRISH ARTISTS. 



Deceased Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers, and of those of 

 Irish birth who have worked in England and Elsewhere, 

 with Lists of their Works and an Account of the Art 

 Institutions in Ireland by WALTER G. STRICKLAND, 

 Registrar National Gallery of Ireland. One Hundred 

 and Fifty Portraits. Super Royal 8vo, Buckram, 2 Vols. 

 30s. net. 



" Of Mr. Strickland himself we can at any rate say that 

 his work is a signal illustration of the new spirit in Ireland 

 the spirit which, haying got rid of the obsession of politics, 

 sees outside it a wide and almost virgin field calling for 

 devoted labour. Mr. Strickland's labours indeed must 

 have been prodigious to have produced singlehanded a 

 work of this character from such material as was avail- 

 able. . . . Mr. Strickland has a keen eye for the interest- 

 ing and significant traits in both the lives and the works 

 of artists with whom he deals ; and thus his two great 

 volumes, with their hundreds of names, are astonishingly 

 readable. . . . The wealth of sheer information given in 

 these volumes is very great." Times Literary Supplement. 



* Let me here express something of the gratitude 

 which all art-lovers must feel towards the author for 

 having undertaken such a stupendous task as the compila- 

 tion of this work, and for carrying it through in su<'h an 

 efficient, thorough and painstaking manner . . . the 

 bulk of his two substantial volumes is occupied with 

 accounts of men whose careers are not touched, upon in 

 any other work of reference. The labour attendant upon 

 accumulating the materials for the book may be gauged 

 by the list of sources from which they are derived. . . . 

 Mr. Strick'and has been fortunate in having access to 

 such an immense amount of material, and the art-loving 

 public are doubly to be congratulated that such a wealth 

 of material was at the disposal of one who could make so 

 painstaking and judicious a use of it. ... Mr. 

 Strickland's monumental work." Connoisseur.
