While Irish writers have achieved international prominence in the 20th century, Irish artists have made relatively little impact abroad. Yet for over a century and a half, Ireland has continuously produced painters and sculptors of international stature. In the 19th century the work of major artists such as Danby, Maclise and Mulready was subsumed in the British context. Subsequently, the artistic attractions of France drew figures such as Nathaniel Hone and Roderic O'Connor. In the early years of the 20th century a renaissance in Irish arts and crafts saw the emergence of major painters such as John Lavery, William Orpen, and Walter Osborne. The vitality of this period has continued since, through the work of Jack Yeats to the present day.
