Sirius Arts Centre is pleased to present this exhibition of
Maritime Paintings and Models from the Port of Cork’s collection. The Port of
Cork Company's headquarters at Custom House is home to a fine collection of
historic maritime art dating from the 1800s. Most notable among the collection
are a number of maritime paintings by George Mounsey Wheatley Atkinson who
painted ships and maritime views, and Robert Lowe Stopford who gave us a series
of panoramic views of Queenstown (Cobh). Both give us a great insight into
the shipping of the time and glimpses of a harbour long since changed.
Many of the works in this exhibition are featured in the
book Maritime Paintings of Cork 1700 – 2000 by Peter Murray, Director of the
Crawford Art Gallery, Cork. Sirius Arts Centre is pleased to be able to
present this exhibition in our galleries. Special thanks to the Port of Cork,
Crawford Art Gallery and Peter Murray in supporting this exhibition.
Gallery hours Wed – Fri 11Am -1pm and 2pm – 5pm/Sat &
