"This illustrated book examines Wright's decisive impact on the artistic climate of the expanding port town of Liverpool and on the other artists working there. The Merseyside network of merchants, bankers, and amateur and professional artists that Wright encountered in the years around 1770 is identified as his true historical milieu. The book serves as the catalogue of the exhibition of the same name shown at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven in 2007-8."--BOOK JACKET.

Exciting art has indeed been produced in Ireland during the last hundred years, but its full range has seldom been appreciated and there has been little attempt to take stock. This book offers both a broad survey and some brilliant samples of Irish painting, discussing not only style but content, particularly where it has a bearing on national identity. This book is richly illustrated with 80 colour and a further 100 black-and-white reproduction of a fascinating range of art, from decorative, melancholy or robust to uncomfortable, sardonic and humorous.
