Front Cover
Merrell Holberton, 1997 - Art - 304 pages
Since the middle of the nineteenth century the Yeats family have contributed on a virtually continuous basis to the cultural life of Ireland, in writing, theatre, painting and printing. Thanks to the generosity of the Yeats family and others, the National Gallery of Ireland possesses the most comprehensive collections of artworks by the family, embracing paintings, watercolors, drawings, sketchbooks, embroidery, and other media. This publication has been compiled to provide a commentary on the collection, providing a detailed analysis of the oil paintings, watercolors and drawings, together with more concise accounts of other material. The text includes a visual survey of the collection. -- Publisher description.
