Solomon Delane

Solomon Delane, or Delaney (c.1727 in County Tipperary – 1812 in Dublin) was an Irish landscape painter who spent a major part of his career in Italy.

In addition to the standard courses, he worked with Robert West and studied at the School of Landscape and Ornament, operated by the Royal Dublin Society.

[1] He decided to travel and arrived in Italy around 1755, where he was a resident of Rome for fifteen years; occasionally sharing accommodations with his fellow landscape painter, Hugh Primrose Dean (?-1784).

In 1763, he sent a large landscape to London for an exhibition at Spring Gardens and was named a member of the short-lived Society of Artists of Great Britain.

[5] In 1784, he returned to Dublin, married Elizabeth Warburton (?-1806), with whom he may have had three children,[6] and appears to have retired from public life, although he participated in two minor exhibitions (1802 and 1812).
