>From The Cork Examiner, 16 October 1861 - SALE OF PAINTINGS. MESSRS. W. MARSH and Son have been engaged for the last two days, in selling by auction a number of paintings in the Protestant Hall. The collection was very large and contained some good paintings. Amongst the names set down in the catalogue were those of Horace Vernet, Giulio Romano, Poussin, Snyder, Wouvermans, and many other distinguished artists; but the competition for the works did not evince that the purchasers placed much reliance on the genuineness of most of them. The gentlemen present during both days included most of the patrons and amateurs of art in the city. . . . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
