Joseph Patrick Haverty

At one time, Haverty was considered one of the most prolific of irish painters, and after the 1842 exhibition in Cork, it was generally said that if something was worth painting, it should be painted by Joseph Haverty. He was elected as an associated of the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1823 and painted a series called the Seven Sacraments soon after. He always signed his art works with the letter J or Joseph, never using his surname. He painted many minatures which demonstrated his mastery of oil paints and great draftsman drawing skills.

Irish Artist Matt Lamb

Matt Lamb is a self taught artist from Cork whose works sell for well into double digits. His work is heavily influenced by Gaugin, Van Gogh, Clemente, Paul Klee, Miro and Appel. His paintings and drawings are very textured and colourful, and he works mainly on canvas. His works can be viewed in private collections around the world as well as in public galleries including the Europa Museum in Luxembourg. His art is almost primitive in nature and reminds the viewer of cave paintings from the early etruscan period.
