 Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art - Hugh Lane Gallery - Art
The origins of the Lane Collection go back to Sir Hugh Lane (1975- 1915), a successful Co. Cork-born art dealer who personally collected a large number of important European art works, including the eight outstanding paintings by the French Impressionists.
A temporary gallery was opened in Harcourt Street in 1908 to house the Lane Collection but the inability of Dublin Corporation to settle quickly the question of a permanent home led Lane in 1913 to write a will bequeathing the pictures to London.
Tragically, Sir Hugh was lost with the sinking of the Lusitania in May 1915 and a long dispute over his will arose between the Irish and British governments.
