Senior Cycle Art - Dublin Gallery Trip March 2014

Dublin City Gallery Huge Lane

4th and 5th Year students had a busy day in Dublin visiting the National Museum of Ireland  and The Dublin City Gallery Huge Lane. Students were able to appreciate firsthand beautiful objects from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Age, which they are currently studying for their Art History Exam.

The Hugh Lane Gallery houses the foremost collection of Irish and International modern and contemporary art in Ireland. Students were given a guided tour around the gallery and discussed the artworks of the great Impressionist painters such as Monet and Renoir.

• Les Parapluies or The Umbrellas by Auguste Renoir

Waterloo Bridge, London - Claude Monet

The tour ended with students exploring the studio of Francis Bacon which was relocated from London in 2001.
