Eugene Joseph McSwiney Biography: (Portraiture and Landscape Art) (1866-1930)

Born in Ireland in county Cork, the son of a leather merchant, Eugene Joseph McSwiney studied drawing and painting at the Cork School of Art, winning a series of awards for his figurative skills. In due course, he joined the staff of the (renamed) Crawford School of Art in the city, and also taught at several venues around the county. In 1890, he began showing at the Royal Hibernian Academy (eventually contributing more than 40 paintings) although this was interrupted for several years at the turn of the century, while he struggled to earn a living in Cork and London. Among his notable works, all of which were shown at the Royal Academy in London, were "Eventide" (1897) and "Ruins of Timoleague Abbey, County Cork" (1912). He died in South London at the age of 70. Examples of his work are in the Crawford Art Gallery.

Alternate Biography: Born and educated in Cork, Eugene McSwiney studied at the Cork School of Art receiving numerous awards including the Mayor's Prize in 1886. He also studied for a period at the Royal College of Art, London. At the age of seventeen he exhibited at the Cork Industrial Exhibition, showing there again in 1902. He exhibited four works at the RA and nearly ten times this number at the RHA. In 1913 he was represented by two works at the Whitechapel Exhibition of Irish Art; others appeared occasionally at the Munster Fine Art Club. Publicly he is now represented in the collections of the Crawford Gallery and the Kinsale Museum, Co. Cork.
