Lecture 1 - Quis Separabit: Who Will Separate Us?
About This Webinar
For much of the early 19th century Irish life seemed to continue as before. Trade expanded, houses large and small continued to be built, and while Dublin began its slow decline, the visual arts flourished as never before. All was not well, however, as demands for the vote to be extended to non-Anglicans, the horrors of the Irish Famine and the consequent ‘Land Wars’ slowly unravelled the link between Crown and Harp. The story of a few select houses, and the content of some remarkable paintings will be the framework for this extraordinary and poignant story as Ireland seeks to be ‘ a nation once again’.

Tom Duncan was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he studied, successively, Music and then History of Art with Ancient History and Archaeology. He moved to the United States in 1980 to research Late Antiquity and the Early Church. This formative experience brought him to Cambridge, England in 1984 to complete a Ph D on the influence of Early Christian Art on Baroque Painting in Rome. A period as a university lecturer followed, together with many invitations to lecture to organisations such as The Art Fund and The Arts Society (formerly NADFAS). Consequently, he began to lead tours over twenty years ago and in 1999, together with Stephen Brook, founded CICERONI Travel, now one of the UK's most respected independent cultural travel companies. When not lecturing or travelling, he devotes most of his time to gardening, music and opera, the other great interests in his life.
