Crawford Art Galleryさんのイラストまとめ

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 🥳

To all of you celebrating today, #HappyEaster from all of us!

And here are some 'eggcellent' works from the collection: Eggs in a Basket (c.1959) by Anne Yeats and the ceramic Egg (Orange with white stars) by John ffrench!

Some creative inspiration!?

To mark this #GoodFriday we're dipping into the collection with a rarely-seen work by Daniel Maclise (1806-1870).

Purchased through the #GibsonBequest in 1954, this oil-on-board Crucifixion scene shows Jesus as he is laid on the cross at Calvary, outside the walls of Jerusalem.

'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!

There's something for everyone in this busy composition, from a child's curiosity to dogs chasing boars and the well-to-do remaining oblivious. Life marches on!

Built 'at the King's expense' as the Custom House of #Cork, the oldest part of our building dates to 1724!

It was described by #Waterford man Charles Smith as 'a large elegant building' that managed 'the excise and customs of this port.'

For the day that's in it, here’s a trio of St Patricks by artists Séamus Murphy (c.1940), #HarryClarke (1910), and J.E. Taylorson (1901).

As well as our Work of the Week, today we'll be sharing some Patrick-related works from the collection. Tune in! #StPatricksDay

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!

Properly titled Third Portrait of Deirdre (Leaning Forward), it is one of three iterations made by Jacob Epstein in the early 1940s.

The sculptor’s work drew criticism, often antisemitic, in his lifetime for its overtly sexual imagery and for abandoning Classical models.

Did you know that a version of our WORK OF THE WEEK – Deirdre (1942) by Jacob Epstein – was once owned by actor Peter O’Toole?

Purchased in 1955 as part of the #GibsonBequest, it is a bronze portrait of the Epsteins’ housekeeper and cook who worked for them from 1939 until 1942.
