Lucian Freud and the Legend of Luggala

Discover the fascinating story behind Lucian Freud’s portrait of Guinness family heir Garech Browne, painted at his ancestral home Luggala. Freud was a frequent visitor to this magical retreat in Ireland, which also played host to a who’s who of artistic luminaries including The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Sir John Hurt and Dennis Hopper. An intense and evocative example of Freud’s small-scale work from the 1950s borne out of his intimate relationship with the sitter, ‘Head of a Boy’ is a highlight of our upcoming Contemporary Art Evening Auction (5 March, London).

    No doubt that Lucian Freud has been one of the most talented Britain painters. Marvelous portrait. As you. said, the more se detail, the more we admire the painting and his skills.

    I thought that gaze held more than one meaning for Lucian Freud?

    The affectation of mispronouncing Freud's name is annoying.
