In Real Life celebrates the beauty and fragility of nature through drawings and paintings from the Gallery’s permanent collection. Spanning the seventeenth century to the twenty-first century, works on paper by artists as diverse as Aelbert Cuyp, Barbara Rae, Michael Wann and Emil Nolde include closely observed studies, topographical views and poetic interpretations. Recent works on loan from four Irish artists – Bridget Flannery, David Lunney, Fiona McDonald and Angie Shanahan – complement the works from the Gallery’s collection. Together, the historical and contemporary artworks explore the beauty of the ordinary and the role of art in focusing attention on nature at risk.
