These exceptional portraits were bequeathed to us in 1980 by H.L.R. Emmet.
'Let no man write my epitaph...'
Irish revolutionary Robert Emmet was executed at Thomas Street, Dublin #onthisday in 1803.

⏳ FINAL WEEK! 🚨
As REMBRANDT IN PRINT enters its final week, we're turning our attention to Self-portrait with Saskia (1636), which dates to two years after the artist's marriage. It is a self-conscious portrait that promoted him as both a successful artist and printmaker.
This WORK OF THE WEEK is a real old favourite!
The Red Rose (1923) is one of the most recognisable portraits John Lavery made of his wife and fellow painter, Hazel Martyn, whom he first met in 1903 while on a painting trip to Brittany.
They would marry six years later.
⏳ ONLY 3 WEEKS LEFT!
Our #RembrandtInPrint countdown continues with the artist's astonishing portrait of tax collector Jan Uytenbogaert, known as The Goldweigher.
REMBRANDT IN PRINT must close on 9 January.
