Subsequently, he devoted himself to both figure composition and landscapes. Mulvaney exhibited in Dublin 1810-1844 and was an original member of the Royal Hibernian Academy. He was appointed the first Keeper to the RHA, retaining this office until his death. Mulvaney died of paralysis after 3 days illness at Dirker Lodge, Cross Avenue, Booterstown on 27 February 1845, and was buried at Mount Jerome. | |||||||||||
