Crawford Art Galleryさんのイラストまとめ

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.

The 'great historical painter' James Barry was born in Cork #onthisday in 1741.

His double portrait featuring Edmund Burke and Barry himself, from the collection, is presently included in the exhibition ULYSSES: Art and Myth at the Musei di San Domenico, Forlì. #ulissearteemito

Dutch painter and printmaker #Rembrandt van Rijn died in Amsterdam #onthisday in 1669.

Next spring, we are excited to bring #RembrandtInPrint to Cork in partnership with @AshmoleanMuseum.

We’re hoping for fine weather and a warm #Cork welcome as the Crawford Garden Café gets ready to reopen this Friday 10 July!

It‘ll be such a treat to combine eating outdoors with exploring our beautiful gallery spaces. @Crawfordartcafe will then reopen indoors on 17 July 🥳

'The moon shines bright. In such a night as this,
When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees,
And they did make no noise, in such a night.'

Think on these lines from Shakespeare when looking out for tonight's #supermoon!

Frank O’Connor can also be seen out and about on the streets of #Cork, as in this mural by Peter Martin (near @TriskelCork and @sohobarcork) which features portraits of those who have played a key role in the city’s history and cultural landscape!
