Art history after Françoise Henry has taken many forms. In the course of the last fifty years the manner in which the subject has evolved has been manifest in the changing nature of the teaching and the research interests of the staff in the department that she founded at University College Dublin. What better way to celebrate those five decades than to showcase this variety in a series of illustrated essays by permanent members of staff, past and present. Art history at UCD embraces both Irish and international themes, all of which are included in this handsome volume. The School has made and continues to make a distinctive contribution to the teaching and scholarship of the discipline, in addition to the cultural life of Ireland and beyond.

The book features illustrated essays by Carla Briggs, Christine Casey, Pat Cooke, Philip Cottrell, Nicola Figgis, Kathleen James-Chakraborty, Eileen Kane, Róisín Kennedy, John Loughman, Emily Mark-FitzGerald, Lynda Mulvin, Paula Murphy, John O’Grady and Alistair Rowan.
