Bloomsday James Joyce ~ Jacques Emile Blanche

Blanche had little formal training but his portraits are beautifully executed in a very loose and fluid style. His Father a fashionable nerve specialist provided access for many of his famous sitters. Joyce appears calm with little facial expression. He is instantly recognisable with the trade mark glasses and small moustache. A fitting card to send this Bloomsday to any aspiring writer and lover of Leopold Bloom and the wonderful novel that is Ulysses.

Opening Summer 2020
Room 11 | Free entry

Since his childhood in Dublin, George Bernard Shaw spent many hours wandering the rooms of the National Gallery of Ireland, calling it a place to which he owed “much of the only real education I ever got as a boy in Eire.” Just before his 94th birthday, he completed his last will, leaving one third of his posthumous royalties to the Gallery.

Marking 70 years since Shaw’s death, this display from the Gallery’s archives illustrates his fascinating life and relationship with the Gallery. From original postcards and letters to sculpture and photos, discover the story of one of the country’s most influential writers and the place he called the “cherished asylum of my boyhood”.
