Lord Charlemont and his circle

Michael McCarthy, editor

The essays in this book derive largely from a symposium held to celebrate the bicentenary of the death of James Caulfeild, 1st earl of Charlemont (1728–1799), politician, traveller, connoisseur and patron of the arts. The volume is published as a tribute to Michael Wynne, retired Keeper of the National Gallery of Ireland.
