  Sir Hugh Percy Lane - LoveToKnow 1911
Hugh Lane entered the firm of Colnaghi and Co. in 1893, and he rapidly made a name as a gifted connoisseur and collector of extraordinary perception.
Sir Hugh Lane, who was knighted in 1909, also offered a number of his own splendid purchases of old masters to the city of Dublin on condition that a suitable building be provided for housing them, but, owing to the attitude adopted on the subject by the Dublin Corporation, his gift did not take effect.
It was contended that Sir Hugh Lane had altered his intention of bequeathing some of his pictures to the English National Gallery, and that the entire bequest was thus the property of the Irish National Gallery.

Fitz Hugh Lane was born in Gloucester, Mass., on Dec. 19, 1804.
Lane now began to paint quiet, evocative views, and he preferred to depict the transitional hours of the day, such as sunrise and sunset, rather than to fill his pictures with people, as he had done earlier.

 FITZ HUGH LANE
The Butler Institute canvas is a classic result of this overlay of meditation and recollection, in which a known and observed vessel is projected into a ghostly world of suspended luminosity.
Lane had, in fact, portrayed this vessel once before, in 1854 (Richard York Gallery, New York), and that earlier picture shows a vessel with a quite different, lower, profile of the boW.4 She is also anchored just off a wharf, most likely in Boston Harbor.
As he worked on the canvas, Lane made a number of critical adjustments, including lowering some of the spars and sails on the mizzen mast, and raising the stern and bowsprit.

 thepanicartist: The Hugh Lane Gallery
The Hugh Lane is part of my history, I would bunk off school and spend the whole day in it when I was seventeen.
Many of the paintings were bought directly from the artists by Lane and many of the artists (at least the Irish and British) had connections with Ireland and Dublin.
The Lane is very biased towards Irish painting, and even though I am a defender of painting, many of the more recent paintings are of dubious quality and relevance.

He established a strong local reputation among the artists and public of Boston and Gloucester, MA, the harbour town where he was born and spent the majority of his career.
Yet Lane’s art never enjoyed national standing during his lifetime; not until the term LUMINISM (I)—denoting the fascination with the poetic and transcendental properties of light—gained currency in the historiography of American art was his painting seen to epitomize a broader phenomenon within 19th-century American landscape painting.
