Summary
Starting next Saturday, the National Gallery will present an exhibition of more than 50 works dedicated to Waterfordborn artist Thomas Roberts (1748-1777). The show is likely to arouse huge interest as it's the first major exhibition of his work since 1978, when the gallery celebrated the bicentenary - a year late - of his death.
Regarded as the finest Irish landscape painter of the 18th century, he died at just 29, leaving behind a great volume of work which spans topographical views of some of Ireland's most celebrated and picturesque locations, to idealised landscapes, dramatic storm scenes and views of demesnes (Carton, Lucan, Dartrey).See the full content of this document
