Frank McKelvey

Register for Updates Request a Valuation
Born in 1895, landscape and portrait painter Frank McKelvey attended the Belfast School of Art where he won the Sir Charles Brett prize for figure drawing in 1912. McKelvey’s works convey in a traditional manner his love for nature and the local countryside. He won immediate recognition in Dublin for his landscapes when they were shown at the Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA). From 1918 until 1973 he acquired the remarkable record of never missing a year exhibiting at the RHA, showing between three and eight works annually. He was made a full member of the RHA in 1930 and was one of the first Academicians of the Royal Ulster Academy. (whytes.ie)
