Event Summary

Join curator Siobhán Doyle at Collins Barracks for a special evening tour in the exhibition ‘Harry Clarke's Stained Glass’ as part of "Dublin by Dusk". Harry Clarke (1889 – 1931) is one of Ireland’s most renowned stained-glass artists and illustrators. His work is celebrated internationally for its originality of design and impressive technical skill, not least in Ireland where his work is present in 16 counties, mostly in churches. The panels on display in Harry Clarke’s-Stained Glass each reveal Clarke’s distinct vision, inviting visitors into the world of religious and fantastical imagery that defined his career.
