The Dublin Municipal Gallery in Ireland, houses one of the finest collections of modern pictures in any public gallery though situated in a poor country whose geographical position places it somewhat out of reach of the great art centres of the world. The art gallery was founded by the art connoisseur Hugh Lane. Lane recognized the genius of the Irish artist, and first conceived the idea of making Ireland a centre for the arts of painting and sculpture, as it had already become a centre for poetry and the drama.
