Event Description

Mary Ryan of Ballytrent will be giving a short lecture on Thursday 2nd August at 7pm in Wexford Library (Shhhhhh!) on Wexford's most famous artist, Francis Danby. Danby's 'breeches to riches and stardom to betrayal and obscurity' story could be a Hollywood blockbuster one day...like an 18th C Roy Keane, you might say.

A young Danby left Dublin with two other art graduates to seek their fortunes, walking to London. They didn't make it...to find out what did become of them, don't miss this lecture.
