About this event

Maurice Marinot (1882–1960) was a French artist renowned for redefining the expressive potential of glassmaking. This in-focus exhibition showcases a selection of his works of art spanning from the 1900s to the 1950s.

Marinot infused the intense colours of his earlier paintings into stunning glass objects, including vases, flagons, bowls, and paperweights - earning him the title ‘Le Fauve de Verre (The Wild Beast of Glass).’ The works on display, never before exhibited in the Gallery, along with a range of drawings and glass designs, will reveal his pioneering contribution to the world of glass. The display will also honour the significant gift made to the Gallery by his daughter in the 1970s.

Runs until 25 January 2026 | Sir Hugh Lane Room | Admission free
