KCT 2018 – Grace Cantillon – From Charleville to Caravaggio and Beyond.
Speaker: Grace Cantillon
Talk Title: From Charleville to Caravaggio and Beyond
Talk Synopsis:
Grace Cantillon will explore and reveal to the audience, “The Life of Dr. Monica Lea-Wilson”. Hers is not a household name; but ought to be because, thanks to her, the National Gallery of Ireland now has a painting by Caravaggio. Grace will reveal how the intertwined lives of Marie Monica Ryan of Charleville, later becoming Dr. Monica Lea-Wilson, and her husband, Capt. Percival Lea-Wilson, led to their painting being revealed, to an astounded art world, to be the “lost” Caravaggio entitled The Taking of Christ. This promises to be a fascinating Talk with references to the renowned Harry Clarke, the stained-glass artist; Michael Collins, Irish Revolutionary, Soldier & Politician; Fr. Thomas Finlay SJ; and others of that era.
About the Speaker:
Also known as Grace O’Malley Cantillon, she was born in Limerick in 1934. After boarding schools, and a Degree in Languages, Grace worked in the Archives Department in U.C.D. In 1958, Grace married George Cantillon, a Surgeon in Limerick. She lectured in Moylish College, now Limerick Institute of Technology. Later; Grace joined The Hunt Museum as a Docent in 1990. An M.A in Art History at University of Limerick followed in 2004, and her book about the Round House O’Malleys in 2014. It is fair to say that Grace believes in Lifelong Learning.

Séamus Ruane – Lord Charlemont and his “Darlin’ Girl from Clare”
Talk Title: Lord Charlemont and his “Darlin’ Girl from Clare”
Date: Wednesday, 4th July 2018 at 8pm No. 1 of 9 Talks
Speaker: Séamus Ruane
Talk Description:
There was a time in Ireland when marriages were arranged and a dowry was usually an essential ingredient. So, without a dowry, a girl’s prospects of marriage were much reduced. One such girl was Mary Hickman, daughter of Thomas Hickman of Brickhill House, Brickhill, (Cratloe), County Clare. Fortunately, her luck changed when arguably Ireland’s most eligible bachelor came along. He was just 40 years of age, had a title, and much, much, more besides. Hear their story in this illustrated talk.
About the Speaker:
Séamus Ruane, originally from Dublin, is a long-time resident of Cratloe, Co. Clare. He is a retired Civil Servant and, since retirement, a Docent at The Hunt Museum, Limerick. He has previously delivered this Talk on Lord Charlemont and his “Darlin’ Girl from Clare”,
together with a series of other Talks for “The Friends of The Hunt Museum”, in Limerick, on subjects ranging from 1) Edmund Sexton Pery, and his wider family. (Pery Square in Limerick is named after him); 2) Fr. Jack P. Hanlon, Priest and Painter. A renowned artist, with five of his paintings displayed at The Holy Rosary Church, Ennis Road, Limerick; and, finally, 3) The elopement, love story and lives of Richard Brinsley Sheridan and his
Nightingale (Elizabeth Linley).
