The lecture on 24th September transported us to
the National Gallery in Dublin. After ensuring that we appreciate the attractions
of the city of Dublin, Dr Maureen Park introduced us to the permanent
collections in the gallery. There are paintings by European masters, including
Rembrandt, Caravaggio and Monet as well as paintings by Irish painters maybe
less well known to us. She skilfully interwove stories about the paintings and
linked them to paintings in our own collections. The lecture was much
appreciated and we look forward to hearing her again.
