About
George Victor Du Noyer
George Victor Du Noyer, born in 1817 in Dublin, was a prolific artist, geologist, and antiquary. Much of his work as an artist related exclusively to Ireland as he was often commissioned to draw or paint realistic depictions of locations all over Ireland. Du Noyer’s art covered a wide range of subjects and included images of plants, animals, fish, fossils, geological features, maps, landscapes, people, country houses, historic buildings and antiquities.
Further information on Du Noyer can be found in Useful Links.
The following exhibit presents a digital version of volumes found in the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland’s Du Noyer Collection. The exhibit is organised by volume number and can be navigated using the right-hand sidebar.
Each image is captioned with a transcription of the text written on the drawing.
This exhibit was developed by the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland (RSAI) in 2018 with contributions from Laura Ryan, Sophie Leveque, and Stephanie Chen.
