Adelaide Ironside was was the first Australian artist to leave home to advance her career in Europe. Her mature work earned her an audience with Pope Pius IX and the admiration of both John Ruskin and the Prince of Wales. However after her early death in Rome she was not appreciated in her home country and it took many years for her work to enter public collections.
