This event is part of a collaboration of Trinity College Dublin, the National Gallery of Ireland, The Spanish Embassy and the Instituto Cervantes Dublin, which culminates in a symposium that will take place on Saturday, October 12, 2024.

Join us at the National Gallery of Ireland for the special lecture entitled Spanish Art in Dublin - A Fond Farewell to celebrate the retirement of esteemed colleague and renowned expert on Spanish art, Dr Peter Cherry. This will be a personal reflection on the Spanish pictures in the National Gallery of Ireland which have been the source of such pleasure to him over the years.
