Jan 19, 1908 - The Municipal Gallery of
Modern Art was opened by Sir Hugh Lane in
temporary premises in Harcourt Street,
Dublin. It is believed to be the first known
public gallery of modern art in the world.
Lane was born in County Cork, on 9
November 1875 and he became one of the
foremost collectors and dealers of French
Impressionist paintings in Europe. Amongst
those works purchased by him for the new
gallery were paintings by Manet, Degas,
Renoir and Vuillard. For his "services to art"
in Ireland, Lane was knighted in June 1909 at
the comparatively young age of 33.
Lane hoped that Dublin Corporation
would run it, but the corporation was unsure
if it would be financially viable. Lane met the
running costs, while seeking a more
permanent home.
Lane did not live to see his gallery
permanently located as he died in 1915 during
the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, off the west
coast of Cork.
Following his death, Lane's will
bequeathed his collection to London, but an
unwitnessed later codicil bequeathed it to
Dublin.
After considerable discussions over a long period between the Irish and British governments a final agreement allowed 31 of the 39 paintings to stay in Ireland. The remaining 8 were divided into 2 groups, so that 4 would be lent for 6 years at a time to Dublin. In 1975, the centenary of Lane's birth, the Municipal Art Gallery now in Parnell Square was renamed in honour of its generous benefactor and is now called the Dublin City Gallery Hugh Lane.
It happened in January
‘For I am certain of this: neither death nor life, no angel, no prince, nothing that exists, nothing still to come, not any power, or height or depth, nor any created thing, can ever come between us and the love of God made visible in Christ Jesus our Lord.’
St. Paul to the Romans (8:38-39)

On the cusp of fame, power, or influence, would you turn it down? Today’s Gospel again features John the Baptist. Controversial but popular, John has gathered quite a group of followers. He has disciples. People come from near and far to be baptized by him. Pharisees and government leaders are drawn to his preaching. If John was another man, a lesser man, he would have claimed his own greatness. Instead, John the Baptist is a witness to humility.
“The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and said, ‘Behold the Lamb of God … he is the one of whom I said, “A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me.”… the reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might be made known.’” Rather than point to himself, John points to Christ. John could have grasped at what he had accumulated. He could have
seen Jesus as a Messianic competitor. Instead, John knows who he is. He knows his place as forerunner. Because John knows who Jesus is. “I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.”
A life of humility, a life for others, can be challenging to live. So much of our culture is built around achievement and individualism. We can justify it, too, in pursuit of “greater goods” and higher ideals. In the process, however, we might miss our own participation in the kingdom of God. John, for all of his humility, was not an afterthought. In another Gospel passage, Jesus calls him “the greatest prophet,” even the greatest of men. Why? Because he fulfils the mission given to him by God: to announce the coming of the Messiah. We too are prophets and forerunners. Our witness to the Gospel is meant to point people to Jesus. Consider your own mission this week. To whom are you called to announce the good news of the Son of God? ©LPi
