Catalogue editor Tom Dunne takes us through the career and work of eighteenth-century Irish painter James Barry, whose paintings and prints are exhibited at the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork, until 4 March 2006.
Hiram Morgan reviews the exhibition of Dürer prints at the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin (until 7 February 2006), a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion and printing.
