  • Country House Collections

    Open AccessPhilip McevansoneyaARTICLEJournal of the History of…2023

    Over the past few years, Terry Dooley and Christopher Ridgway have edited a series of volumes, all published by Four Courts, that deal with aspects of the country house, principally in Britain and Ireland but also further afield. Dooley is the founder of the Centre for the Study of Historic Irish Houses and Estates at Maynooth University, and Ridgway is the curator at Castle Howard in Yorkshire. The present volume arises, like its predecessors, f…

  • A. W. Franks, William Ridgeway and collections of Irish antiquities

    Open AccessPhilip McevansoneyaARTICLEJournal of the History of…2023

    The visit by A. W. Franks of the British Museum to the Irish Industrial Exhibition in Dublin in 1853 gave him the opportunity to assess the holdings of Irish antiquarian material displayed there. This soon led to purchases for the museum. The collections that most interested him are discussed here, along with another, long known to William Ridgeway, who eventually bought it on behalf of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society

  • Old Masters Worldwide

    Open AccessPhilip McevansoneyaARTICLEJournal of the History of…2022

    As is shown by the numerous sources cited in Old Masters Worldwide, the study of the art market has been in the ascendant over the past twenty years, although that study originated – in effect, if not in clarity of purpose – in the late nineteenth century, with such works as George Redford’s Art Sales: A history of sales of pictures and other works of art (London, 1888). In addition to numerous articles, edited collections and monographic studies…

  • A “school of Irish letters”

    Philip McevansoneyaARTICLEIrish Studies Review2021References: 3

    In about 1871 Sir Samuel Ferguson conceived a plan for a co-publishing venture, allying Dublin and London publishers in order to create better opportunities for Irish writers. The writers would be subject to his approval and their work would be distinguished by a fountain symbol on the title page, hence fountain series. The plan may be seen to represent Ferguson’s historical position and ideological outlook as he sought to develop ‘an Irish schoo…

  • The Twentieth Century German Art Exhibition

    Open AccessPhilip McevansoneyaARTICLEJournal of the History of…2020

    In the summer of 1938, an exhibition of modern German art was mounted in London. Any political motives were denied but the event was unmistakably a riposte to two series of exhibitions in Germany: on the one hand, those of entartete Kunst, or ‘degenerate art’, the work that had fallen foul of Nazi cultural values; and on the other the Große Deutsche Kunstausstellungen, or ‘Great German Art Exhibitions’, consisting of Nazi-approved art. The London…

  • Private Collecting, Exhibitions, and the Shaping of Art History in London. The Burlington Fine Arts Club

    Open AccessPhilip McevansoneyaARTICLEJournal of the History of…2018

    This valuable book deals with a familiar topic, though one little known in detail, the Burlington Fine Arts Club (bfac), a Mayfair club dedicated to sharing and promoting interest in a wide variety of collecting activities, from European prints to Oriental ceramics to indigenous and primitive art. Those interests were demonstrated in numerous loan exhibitions between 1867 and 1938. The primary audience was the membership of the bfac itself, but t…

    Among the holdings of the National Museum of Ireland ( nmi ) are more than 12,000 artefacts from Africa, the Americas and the Pacific and more than 50,000 items of Irish ethnography or folklife. Since 2001 the latter collection has been accommodated in a separate branch, the nmi – Country Life, at Turlough Park, Co. Mayo, after many years in less-than-adequate storage. The former collection has been described as one of the finest of its kind in t…

  • The purchase of the 'Tara' brooch in 1868

    Philip McevansoneyaARTICLEJournal of the History of…2012

    Although there are numerous official documents from the nineteenth century detailing the circumstances in which certain highly important Irish antiquities were purchased by the British government for deposit in the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin, their potential as sources for the study of the history of those objects has not been fully recognized. Amongst the items secured for posterity few if any exceeded the ‘Tara’ brooch in historic and aestheti…

  • People and Religion in Victorian Exhibitions

    Philip McevansoneyaARTICLEJournal of Victorian Culture2012

    The publication of Richard Altick's The Shows of London in 1978 set a benchmark for the study of metropolitan exhibitions. Altick ranged over a wide time-span from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries and touched on all types of exhibition, both inside and outside the formal gallery or museum space, to indicate the numerous entertainment and educational opportunities the city provided. In the wake of Altick's book, exhibitions of every ima…

The letters, supplemented from other manuscript sources, document an unrecognized episode in the history of watercolour collecting. The initial destination o…

    Copies have had an important role in the history of western painting. They have been made for the purposes of historical education, as a means of training in a medium, as a method of studying styles and techniques, and in emulation and homage. This article considers a forgotten episode in the history of the National Gallery, London, to which in the 1880s three sets of copies were donated. It is highly unusual for acknowledged copies to be accepte…
