Harry Clarke's Illustrations for Hans Christian Andersen's 'Fairy Tales'

This picture does not do it justice.  But today I went to the National Gallery of Ireland and saw a gorgeous exhibit that I would recommend that you make sure to see if going to the National Gallery (or if you are just in Dublin).  Go see Harry Clarke’s Illustrations for Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales.

It’s tucked up in the back of the print gallery so you might be tempted to miss it.

Don’t.

Harry Clarke brings a world of vivid stained glass color to his illustrations of classic fairy tales.  It’s utterly amazing and definitely worth a vist. Plus the National Gallery has free admission which always is a plus.

And if you prefer more traditional art there are four floors filled with art of all eras.
