series of portraits of contemporary Irishmen and
Irishwomen, which, for want of space, are grouped
along the staircase wall, include fine examples
of the work of Mr. William Orpen, Mr. J. B.
Yeats, Mancini, Miss Sarah Purser, and Count
Markievicz.
Coming to the upper rooms we find ourselves in
the midst of the painters of the Barbizon school
and the later impressionists.
They include two striking
works by Manet, one of
them being the historic
Tuileries Garden, in which
the portraits of many nota-
bilities of the Second
Empire are to be dis-
tinguished ; Renoir’s large
canvas Les Parapluies,
which he himself describes
as le plus travaill'e de tons
mes toiles—a Parisian crowd
on the boulevards in a
shower of rain ; a notable
group of Mancini’s pictures,
including the portrait of
Mr. Lane himself, which
attracted so much attention
at the New Gallery not long
ago, a particularly fine
example of Le Sidaner,
The works by the earlier
men, Gerome, Courbet,
Corot, Monticelli, Fantin,
Bonvin, Rousseau, Diaz,
Maris, Mauve, Stevens,
Daumier, Troyon, Har-
pignies, and Puvis de Cha-
vannes, are hung in the
adjoining room. Here the
collection of pictures by
the French romanticists
alone would give the
Gallery a claim to prestige
amongst the smaller Euro-
pean museums of art.
Amongst them the Corots
are a most interesting
group, and represent
the great paysagiste at all stages of his develop-
ment. Two fine Courbets; Rousseau’s beautiful
and poetic moonlight picture, The Bathers-, a
delightful group of Fantins, which includes a most
charming self portrait; and an exquisitely painted
interior by Stevens are but a few of the gems of
a collection in the choice of which a rare and
exquisite taste has expressed itself. Dublin has
indeed cause to be grateful to Mr. Hugh Lane,
WALTER LEISTIKOW
and two beautiful Monets
—his Waterloo Bridge and
a landscape in snow glitter-
ing with sunlight.
