Egisto Lancerotto | Genre painter

Egisto Lancerotto (August 21, 1847 - May 31, 1916) was an Italian painter**, mainly of genre scenes of Venice.

He was born in Noale. His father, a bureaucrat in that town, was transferred to Venice when Egisto was young. Lancerotto attended the Venetian Accademia di Belle Arti, where his professors were Napoleone Nani, Michelangelo Grigoletti, Federico Moja and Pompeo Marino Molmenti. The latter was likely his strongest influence.

Carmen Giraldez, 1976 | Conceptual painter

Carmen acquired her interest in art, and especially painting, from her father who is an avid collector and also a painter.

Her early childhood training was “at his knees” as she likes to say.

Irish Art History and Sitemap

The history of Irish art starts around 3200 BC with Neolithic stone carvings at the Newgrange megalithic tomb, part of the Brú na Bóinne complex which still stands today, County Meath.

In early-Bronze Age Ireland there is evidence of Beaker culture and a widespread metalworking.

Trade-links with Britain and Northern Europe introduced La Tène culture and Celtic art to Ireland by about 300 BC, but while these styles later changed or disappeared under the Roman subjugation, Ireland was left alone to develop Celtic designs: notably Celtic crosses, spiral designs, and the intricate interlaced patterns of Celtic knotwork.
