RDS Art Collection
Assembled by the Society over the course of three centuries, the RDS Art Collection comprises sculptures, portrait paintings and busts, landscapes, history paintings, prints and watercolours. Acquired primarily through donations, bequests and commissions, our unique heritage collection reflects the Society’s encouragement of the fine arts in Ireland, particularly through its establishment of the country’s first formal system of art education which, during more than one hundred years, produced many of Ireland’s greatest painters, sculptors and artisans.
