Are there any Francis Bacon paintings in Ireland?
I know his studio was donated after his death.
Not sure about paintings.

I cannot stand him but will go in with an open mind.
Just like the animals he cuts in half.

it galls me to pay money to see his work given his massive wealth. there's a chance HERSELF will get tickets though.

Communicating with Prisoners Jack B. Yeats (The Model, Sligo)

Hellelil and Hildebrand, The Meeting on the Turret Stairs Frederic Wiliam Burton (National Gallery)

A Family Louis Le Brocquy (National Gallery)

Lady Writing a Letter Johannes Vermeer (National Gallery)

The Eve of Saint Agnes Harry Clarke (Hugh Lane/Crawford)

The Artist's Studio Sir John Lavery (National Gallery, Ulster Museum)

A Convent Garden, Brittany William John Leech (National Gallery)

Wall of Light Orange Yellow Sean Scully (Hugh Lane)

A Connemara Village Paul Henry (National Gallery/Connemara)

The Taking of Christ Caravaggio (National Gallery)

I'd say Louis Le Brocquy has done his chances no harm now.

It should be on IRISH painters.

We don't appreciate our artists enough at all.

There's a painting by Jack Yeats I love, but don't know what it's called.
It looks abstract, but then your eyes adjust and you can see there's a horse bolting, with a house fire in the background.
It's massive; dominates the Yeats exhibition in the National Gallery.

Anyone know which one I'm talking about?

Maybe you were just standing too close to it.
