Ireland and the Academy at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, on 27 Jan. A talk by Dr Matthew Whyte on how in the 1600s Irish artists drew on the prevailing academic tradition to create a distinctly Irish identity. Part of Art History Reframed - Spring 2026.
Art Historian Dr Matthew Whyte offers a new lecture series, which takes the audience on an art-filled journey through the often beautiful, sometimes scandalous, and always fascinating moments in the development of Western civilisation.
The lectures can be attended as a series, but are also designed as standalone talks, which can be attended individually.
This lecture will look at how in the 1600s Irish artists drew on the prevailing academic tradition to create a distinctly Irish identity.
