Born Henry Patrick Clarke.
Educated Belvedere College and Dublin Metropolitan School of Art.
[quote]Harry Clarke was born on March 17th, 1889 in North Frederick
Street, Dublin, where his father Joshua had a decorating and stained
glass business. While still at school with the Jesuits in Belvedere,
Clarke showed promise in drawing and art and was described as a
reserved and sensitive boy. He was apprenticed in 1905 for five years
to his father's business while attending schools of art in Dublin and
London for periods in between. By 1914, he had studied, exhibited, won
a travelling studentship, and travelled to Paris and Chartres. His
first stained glass commission was for the windows of the Honan chapel
in University College Cork, which was completed in 1917. Between 1917
and his early death in 1931, in spite of ill health, he carried out
over forty commissions for churches in Ireland, Great Britain and
elsewhere. One of his most famous works is the Geneva Window,
commissioned by the state for the International Labour Building of the
United Nations.[/quote]
