James Barry
James Barry (1741-1806) is perhaps the most significant artist to have been born and trained in Cork. Much of his works reflect the history and politics of his own times, as well as the classical art of Greece and Rome. The strong moral and social content in his paintings show him to be an early Neo-Classicist, yet his life was thwarted by a strong romantic temperament, an argumentative nature and financial misfortune. The James Barry Exhibition will present an unequalled opportunity to re-examine Barry's contribution to both the history of art and the history of his own times, with works on loan from key collections in Ireland, Europe and North America, as well as presenting recently rediscovered paintings. The exhibition will conclude with an international academic conference which will coincide with the bicentenary of Barry's death. Crawford Art Gallery, Emmet Place.
