Royal Hibernian Academy Annual Exhibition, 1862
End Date: 1862
Type: Annual exhibition
Description: 34th annual exhibition. 508 works exhibited in total.
Policy: 'Before the year 1805, Exhibitions in annual succession were unknown in Ireland. The Professors of the Fine Arts had no permanent bond to unite them, nor place for the Exhibition of their works'. This changed in 1824, when George IV granted a royal charter to the Royal Hibernian Academy and one of its members, Francis Johnston, Esq., provided the Professors with an Academy House and suitable Galleries for exhibition.
A gallery for the reception of Antique Statues and Modern Works of Sculpture was supplied in 1830, by the erection of a new building on land adjoining the existing academy, funded by Mrs. Johnston, widow of the late President, Francis Johnston above (p. 3).
Display Arrangement: Paintings and Miniatures hung in the Large Room adnd Ante room. Sculptures and architectural drawings displayed in the Sculpture Room.
