George Bernard O'Neill

George Bernard O'Neill (17 July 1828 Dublin – 23 September 1917 London), was a prolific Irish portraitist, painter of historical subjects, anecdotal sketches of contemporary life and sentimental images of children.

For the larger part of his career he lived in London, and later joined the Cranbrook Colony, a group of artists who worked in the Kent countryside, inspired by seventeenth century Dutch and Flemish painters.

O' Neill's painting style is similar to that of Thomas Webster and [http://www.haynesfineart.com/artists/frederickdaniel-hardy.htm Frederick Daniel Hardy] . He was a successful student at the Royal Academy Schools and regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1847 onwards. A famous work of his, "Public Opinion", which had been shown at the Royal Academy in 1863, is presently at the Leeds City Art Gallery.
