New Perspectives on Artistic Practice 16201820. This major book, beautifully illustrated, highlights the finest contemporary scholarship on Irish fine art in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It was during this period that the luxury commodities which comprise fine art sculpture, painting, miniatures, prints became signifiers of the cultured lifestyle emulated by the social elites in Ireland. These artefacts, in their production, consumption, appreciation, display and exchange, reveal the ethnic, social and political tensions that defined these turbulent centuries. Masterfully edited, Irish Fine Art in the Early Modern Period
