[edit] About
Located in Clare Street, The Oriel Gallery is Dublin's long-established independent gallery specializing in 18th to 21st Century fine Irish Art. Founded in 1968 by Oliver Nulty, the Oriel Gallery takes its name from the ancient Irish kingdom of Oriel which encompassed the present-day town of Drogheda from which Oliver hails. By happy coincidence the word Oriel translates from the Irish as 'window' and from the Welsh as 'gallery'.
Also the oldest independent gallery in Ireland, the Oriel was established at a time when Irish art was all but virtually discounted. With Dublin as his blank canvas, Oliver set out to exhibit, promote and sell quality Irish paintings. He acquired premises at 17 Clare Street in the form of a large Georgian house which today happily sits cheek-by-jowl with the National Gallery.
