Irish painters face up to master Caravaggio
The Taking of Christ by Caravaggio, A Connemara Village by Paul Henry and Wall of Light Orange Yellow by Seán Scully all feature in the final short list of an RTÉ campaign to find Ireland’s favourite painting which starts next week.
The list, which was drawn from a long-list of 100 nominated by the public and the curators, directors and boards of public art collections throughout Ireland, also features works by Harry Clarke, Jack B Yeats, Frederic William Burton, Louis Le Brocquy, William John Leech, Johannes Vermeer, and John Lavery.
