We're marking #Titanic's anniversary with this WORK OF THE WEEK!

Life Boats (2012) by Jamie Murphy is a nocturnal image of a recognisable maritime subject. Taking a low viewpoint, it focuses on lifeboats being lowered from Titanic's deck as it sinks into the icy North Atlantic.

In her work, Monica Poole (1921-2003) – whose centenary is this year – explored the natural world in remarkable detail, reflecting that "Those twisted shapes will not leave me alone."

This edition of TALKING PICTURES is inspired by ‘Ship in Stormy Seas’ by Richard Peter Atkinson (1876) from our collection, a detail of which is pictured here. 🌊

Ponder the world beneath the towering waves with some fun creative ideas, including ocean creature yoga(!)

Known in Spanish as zueco/zapatos de madera and probably dating to the 19th century, Gibson identified the pairs in our collection as being from Asturias and Albarracín in Spain.

Illustrator Annie Forrester has dreamed up a Wild West version that we are particularly taken by! 🤠

One of the best loved paintings in the collection, The Red Rose (1923) is one of some 400 portraits the artist made of his wife, Hazel Lavery.

#FunFact: previous portraits of Mrs William Burrell (1892), Sarah Bernhardt (1912) and Viscountess Curzon hide beneath Hazel’s likeness!

@Fiona_Forde_Irl @echolivecork Just around the corner from our place! It reminds us of this cute little detail from the painting Cork's Northside by Patrick Hennessy. It probably dates to the 1940s.

Tune in to @RTEOne at 9:35pm for #TheHunger: The Story of the Irish Famine.

This new documentary is informed by @CorkUP's landmark Atlas of the Great Irish Famine (2012), which bears our collection work, The Eviction (c.1850) by Cork artist Daniel Macdonald, as its cover image.

From twilight to moonlight...

Close inspection of this summertime landscape, painted c.1835 by Irish artist James Arthur O'Connor, reveals a wealth of nocturnal river activity.

This painting entered the collection in 1998 through the Fr McGrath Bequest. #MuseumsUnlocked

We draw today's #MuseumsUnlocked thread to a close with a light-hearted drawing from Jack B. Yeats...

Found on the verso of another drawing, this image depicts a boy in roller skates coming to the aid of another whose foot has become stuck in a hole in a sidewalk. Growing pains!

Right in the middle of @CorkScience Festival and @ScienceWeek, we've got a great Cork-themed activity for young art, science and history fans alike!
