Since 1901, Hugh Lane had been championing the establishment of Gallery of Modern Art for Ireland. Encouraged by the members of the Celtic Revival movement, including his aunt Augusta, Lady Gregory, and William Butler Yeats, Hugh Lane set about amassing a collection of modern and contemporary art. Hugh Lane and His Artists presents selected treasures from the Gallery’s founding days. It includes paintings by Corot, Constable, Fantin-Latour and Degas previously in the Staats Forbes collection along with works by Monet, Nathaniel Hone and John B. Yeats.
