William Orpen

One of the most technically gifted Irish painters who ever lived.

William Orpen (1878–1931) painted Edwardian society at its most elegant — then went to the Western Front and painted war at its most brutal. His canvases are held by the Imperial War Museum and the National Portrait Gallery. Few Irish artists have left a body of work this varied or this powerful.
