Daniel Maclise
In April 1828 Maclise, a native of Cork, entered the schools of the RA and carried off medals in the life school and painting school and in 1831 the gold medal for his "choice of Hercules". He became firmly established as a painter and his subsequent career was of unbroken prosperity. He was offered the presidency of the RA and a knighthood, both of which he refused. There are two large frescoes by him in the House of Lords, London, whilst his 'Marriage of Strongbow and Aoife' (1854) is one of the most publically discussed works in the National Gallery of Ireland.
