Gabriel Beranger

Gabriel Beranger was a Rotterdam-born Huguenot who came to Dublin with his family in 1750. He exhibited at the Society of Artists (Ireland) from 1765-1768, and in 1773 made the first of his antiquarian tours through Ireland. William Burton Conyngham, the first President of the Antiquarian Society, employed Beranger to make plans and drawings of antiquities for the society. To this purpose, Beranger made a tour through the West of Ireland in 1779, keeping an itinerary, illustrated with sketches, which he later arranged for publication in bound volumes. One such volume, entitled A Collection Of Drawings Of The Principle Antique Buildings Of Ireland designed on the spot and collected by Gabriel Beranger is housed in the Royal Irish Academy. |
