The National Gallery of Ireland writes:
Artists often include themselves in their own works, and there’s another fine example of it in this painting of Donnybrook Fair (1859) by Erskine Nicol, which is on loan to the National Gallery of Ireland from the Tate.
Nicol is clearly identifiable in the throngs at the centre of his magnum opus, walking with his wife Janet & another finely-dressed couple. He included himself as a way of declaring his status as gentleman observer & to demonstrate his familiarity with this subject in particular.

The National Gallery of Ireland writes:
The National Gallery in Dublin wishes to reach out to a wide range of people living in Direct Provision to explore your experiences of coming to and living in Ireland.
This artist-led project [conceived by Evgeny Shtorn] will take its lead from an object (or objects) that you brought here to Ireland with you, and the meaning that these objects might now have.
Participation in the project will include attendance at workshops in the gallery once a month between June and December 2019.
The gallery encourages people from all communities to apply, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community. There are a limited number of places available on this project.
The deadline to apply is May 22.
