Irish Art and its Contexts
For more than two thousand years, Irish artists
have been contributing to visual expression.
This course presents a survey of some of the
key developments in Irish art from the pre-
Christian period to the present. The
understanding of major artworks and structures
depends on an appreciation of the factors that
led to their creation in the first place, their role in
society, and that ultimately infuenced key
considerations of form and content. In addition
to considering the various transformations and
revivals over time, this lecture-only course will
address as appropriate such issues as the
education of artists, the infuence of travel,
forums for display, studio practice, and
conventions of representation. Each week,
experts from within and beyond Trinity College,
will focus on a particular period and form of
expression – including metalwork, manuscripts,
sculpture, architecture, painting, printmaking –
looking at the work of the master-craftsmen and
experimental artists who created them.
Lecturers

together with guest lecturers from institutions
