The exhibition includes drawings, watercolours, prints, and illustrated publications dating from the 1700s to the modern day. The backgrounds, motivations, and methods of the artists exhibited are diverse. Yet all are connected by a shared desire to observe, record, and advance our knowledge of the natural world.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.ie\/art-and-artists\/exhibitions\/drawn-from-nature-online” button_text=”See it at NGI” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Link to NGI” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”#e75225″ custom_margin=”12px||21px|||”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.8″ background_color=”#C9D290″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.8″][et_pb_divider color=”#e75225″ divider_weight=”4px” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ width=”80%” module_alignment=”center”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″ admin_label=”NGI LINKS II” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ background_color=”rgba(151,168,42,0.52)” custom_padding=”|10px|13px|10px|false|false” border_radii=”off|||20px|20px”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″]<\/p>\n

Take a virtual tour of Irish Horse<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Spencer Murphy, Ruby Walsh, Irish Jockey, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spencer was born in 1978 and grew up in the Kentish countryside. Raised in relative isolation, miles from the nearest shop or school, Spencer often found himself with only his imagination for company and the surrounding woodland as his playground. It was a combination of this imagination and an early discovery of his mother\u2019s back issues of Life and National Geographic that sparked an early enthusiasm for photography at the age of 11. As a result, his parents bought him his first camera and photography quickly became a channel for his creativity.<\/p>\n

Michael Angelo Hayes (1820-1877), Sackville Street, Dublin, c.1853<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Angelo Hayes was born in Waterford and trained with his father, Edward Hayes (1797-1864).<\/p>\n

His principal interests were equine and military subjects. This view of Dublin’s main thoroughfare, now known as O’Connell Street, offers a glimpse of how the city looked in the 1850s. The street abounds with activity, as people bustle amidst carts, carriages and omnibuses. Dominating the scene is the 40-metres-high landmark, ‘Nelson’s Pillar’, erected in 1808.\u00a0<\/p>\n

William John Leech (1881-1968),\u00a0Aloes, South of France,\u00a0c.1915\/17<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the winters of 1915 and 1917, Irish artist Leech travelled to the fishing village Les Martiques, near Marseilles, to paint. Inspired by the decorative quality of the aloe plants that thrive there, he embarked on his Aloes series of oil paintings. The large scale of the paintings suggests they were executed in his studio in London, based on watercolour studies such as this, done on the spot. The influence of Post-Impressionism is evident in the artist\u2019s heightened awareness of colour and rhythmic pattern.<\/p>\n

Mainie Jellett (1897-1944), The Virgin of \u00c9ire, 1940s<\/p>\n

Jellett trained in Dublin and London before moving to Paris in 1920.<\/p>\n

There, with Evie Hone, she studied under Andr\u00e9 Lhote, an advocate of C\u00e9zanne\u2019s analytical approach to painting, and Albert Gleizes, an established Cubist artist.<\/p>\n

Inspired by their work, Jellett began to analyse rhythm, colour and form in her own work, while also drawing on long-standing pictorial traditions.<\/p>\n
