| dc.description | 'Portrait painter and architect, Francis Bindon was born at Clooney, County Clare about 1698. His exact birth date is not known. It seems that Francis studied at the Academy of Painting in London, under the guidance of Sir Godfrey Kneller. Francis was a member of the Royal Dublin Society. He developed an interest in portrait painting and because he was a wealthy gentleman with good connections he soon attracted some notable patrons. He is best known for his many portraits of Dean Swift, in particular, the full-length portrait painted in 1739 for the Chapter of St. Patrick's Cathedral.' (www.clarelibrary.ie) | en |
