Catalogue Note
Powerscourt is probably the most famous of all Irish houses, built 1731-40 for Richard Wingfield, later 1st Viscount Powerscourt. The gardens of Powercourt contained the highest waterfall in Ireland, and the scenery provided inspiration to many generations of artists, in particular George Barret.
