Description

In this beautifully illustrated anthology more than fifty acclaimed Irish novelists, playwrights and poets - including Seamus Heaney, Colm Toibin and Roddy Doyle - explore ideas and tell stories about art, love, family, dreams, memory and places using pictures from the over 15,000 works of art in the National Gallery of Ireland as inspiration. The artworks and the literary responses to them are wonderfully perceptive and, at times, deeply personal, inviting us to look at art in new lights and from different angles.

The book is published to mark the 150th anniversary of the National Gallery of Ireland.

Janet McLean is Curator of European Art, 1850 - 1950, at the National Gallery of Ireland.
