Description
Ireland and the Picturesque Design, Landscape Painting and Tourism 1700-1840 by Finola O'Kane This book repositions Ireland at the heart of the picturesque movement, challenging the conventional view of its development. By exploring the role of landscape painting in shaping Ireland's historic landscapes, towns, and tourist routes, O'Kane reveals a far more significant Irish influence on European landscape theory and design. The creation of picturesque Ireland is a story of calculated planning and design, with landscape painting playing a crucial role in its development. This book charts the physical shaping of Ireland as a tourist destination, one of the earliest and most successful in the world. Published for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, this book offers a fresh perspective on the history of Ireland's landscape and its role in the development of European art and design.
