my uncle did not occur until 1950 and the years following, w h e n the thrust o f all conversations between my uncle, the senior Justice, and myself, a y o u n g l a w y e r , w a s n o t t h e la w b u t his consuming passion for collecting paintings.

h'onically, James Murnaghan was born in America, the second son o f G eorge and Angela M o o n e y M urnaghan w h o had immigrated to St. Louis in the 1860s. Around 1883 they returned to O m agh, Co. Tyrone, moving shortly thereafter to Lisanelly H ouse w h e r e as a g e n t l e m a n f a r m e r G e o r g e M urnaghan was to sit as the first Catholic in the W estm inster Parliament. Jam es was educated at the National University o f Ireland and was called to the bar in 1903, and sat on the counsel for the formation o f the National Constitution in 1918. From 1910-24 he was Professor o f Jurisprudence and R om a n Law at the N atio n a l U n iv e rs ity o f Ireland before he w ent on the H igh C o u rt and then became a Justice o f the Suprem e C o u rt o f Ireland. He sat on the Board o f Govenors o f the National Gallery o f Ireland from 1925 and was m a d e C h a i r m a n in 1962.

Joyce was never a close friend o f the s o m e w h a t c o n s e rv a tiv e s ta u n c h C a t h o li c , but Uncle James did visit him in Paris on at least one occasion while Joyce was living there. In later y e a rs w h e n b i o g r a p h e r s w o u l d v i s i t U p p e r Fitzwilliam Street with queries about Joyce Uncle James would demonstrate his mild disapproval of the famous author by suggesting he had nothing to a d d to th e c o n s id e r a b l e v o l u m e o f available anecdotes.

dispersed stock in ciealers’ shops along the quays en route from the Four Courts burgeoned, giving collectors ample opportunity to expand their own collections. Uncle James had a practice o f buying paintings in lots ot three to deflect interest in any particular painting on which a dealer might wish to capitalise. T h e collections grew and grew often com ing quietly into the house in afternoons while Aunt Alice was playing golf In t h e 1960s w h e n I b e c a m e i n te r e s te c i in collecting and woulci return from the C ontinent with a O utch e tching or two m y Uncle woulci rub his hands together in glee and say ‘Ah, you have got the disease.” For economic reasons my own interests moved onto the collecting o f h'ish art w h ic h was regarded by m y uncle as simply being “ English art” and not in the same league as the art o f N o r t h Europe, Italy or Spain w h ic h really interested him. Uncle James did not hesitate to m a k e a t t r i b u t i o n s to his p a i n t i n g s , o f te n correct, though sometimes prescient.

S a i i u j o h n the Baptist and thr ee Saints- a frag me nt from an A s su m p t io n o f the Virgin tem per a o n panel, irregular 16 X 14/2in. (4 0.7 x 3 6 . 8 c m . ) T h e ociit’rc formerly attributed to Ciiacomo Facchiarotto (1474-1540) has recently been identified as the w ork o f Pietro Orioli as a result o f analysis o f the stylistic and docum en tar\’ material pertaining to these tw o artists. L.B. Kanter, in the catalogue o f the exhibition Paiiitiii^^ in Rcthiisscncc Siam (1420-1500), M etropolitan M useum o f Art, N e w York, 20 D ecem ber 1988 - 19 March 1989, p.335, considers these works formerly attributed to Facchiarotto and n o w reassignetl to Orioli ‘am ong the most original and influential pictures produced in Siena in the last tw o decades o f the fifteenth century’. T h e majority o f documentary' evidence on Orioli relates to his presence in the lay com pany o f San Ciirolamo sotto I’Ospedale from 1481 until his death , perhaps from the plague at the age o f 36 in 1496 (Coor, 1965, op. at.) Orioli rose to the position o f Prior within this company, whose regulations dictated that its m em bers’ art w'as to be dedicated to the glorification ot Ciod and the Virgin. Orioli was praised by the contem po rary chronicler Sigismondo Tizio in his Historiatum Setiesiimi for his moral virtue and religious spirit as well as for his excellent c]ualities as a painter (IV. f 428: see G. Milanesi, Documcnti per la storia dell’arte Sciiese, 1854, II, p .391). T izio’s account o f the elaborate funeral procession and cerem ony held in O rio li’s h o n o u r in 1496 clearly demonstates the high regard in w hich this artist was held by his peers. Orioli probably trained with M atteo di Giovanni, how ever, his interest in architectural structure also reveals a dependance on the style ot Francesco di Giorgio and ultimately, with the works n o w restored to him for the series executed for the Piccolomini, the influence o f Luca Signorelli, and the U m brian artists around Perugino. (leitm d e C o o r has identified the present w ork as being a fragment part ot a larger Asi:uiiiptiou altarpiece, and positions the picture to the right ot the M adonna. C o o r began to piece together various fragments cut from the original altai'piece linking them together to the same altar through similarities in subject, fonn, colour and technique. T he pieces n o w recognised as fonning part o f the Assumption altarpiece are set against a light blue background sky and have translucent halos o f gold dots and employ a rich and varied colour scheme in the gannents. There are various other fragments in addition to the present work scattered in private and public collections, tor example the Anthony Post collection, London, the El Passo Museum o f Art, Texas, and the Baltimore M useum o f Ait. A related Assmnption of the Virj^iii, was sold by C'hristie’s, N ew York, 12th Januar\' 1996, lot 102, from the John Pope-Hennesey collection. IR ^ 2 5 , ( ) ( ) ( ) - 3 5 , 0 0 0

C'atalogue illustrations are for guidance only, and should n o t be relied on either to determ ine th e to ne o r colour ot any item o r to reveal imperfections. Estimates o f th e selling price should n ot be relied o n as a statement that this price is either the price at w hich the Lot will sell o r its value tor any o th e r puipose.

It a prospective buyer gives us instructions to bid on his b ehalf by using the fonii printed after the catalogue entries, w e shall use reasonable efforts to do so. provided these instructions are received not later than 24 hours before the sale. If w e receive commission bids on a particular Lot tor idenrical am ounts, and at auction these bids are the highest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid w.as received first. C om m is sion bids are u ndertaken subject to othe r c o m m itm en ts at the time o f the sale, and the co n du ct o f the sale may be such that w e are unable to bid as requested. Since this is undertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the temis stated, w e cannot accept liability for failure to m ake a commission bid. Prospective buyers should therefore always attend personally if they wisii to be certain ot bidding.
