Eva Sydney Hone RHA (22 April 1894 – 13 March 1955), usually known as Evie, was an Irish painter and stained glass artist.〔Nicola Gordon Bowe (May 2009). (Hone, Eva Sydney (1894–1955) ). ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', online edition. Oxford: Oxford University Press. 〕 Hone was born at Roebuck Grove, County Dublin, on 22 April 1894. She was the youngest daughter of Joseph Hone and Eva Eleanor, ''née'' Robinson, daughter of Sir Henry Robinson and granddaughter of the 10th Viscount Valentia.〔 She was related to Nathaniel Hone and Nathaniel Hone the Younger. Her most important works are probably the East Window for the Chapel at Eton College, Windsor (1949–1952) and ''My Four Green Fields'', now located in Government Buildings. They were commissioned for the Irish Government's Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair. They graced CIE's Head Office in O'Connell Street from 1960 to about 1983. From December 2005 to June 2006, an exhibition of her work was on display at the National Gallery of Ireland. Hone studied at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London and then under Bernard Meninsky at the Central School of Arts and Crafts. She met Mainie Jellett when both were studying under Walter Sickert at the Westminster Technical Institute.〔Deirdre McMahon (2002). (Hone, Evie (1894–1955) ). in: Anne Commire, Deborah Klezmer (eds.) (2002). ''Women in World History: A Biographical Encyclopedia''. Waterford, CT: Yorkin Publications. Online version: Gale.〕 She worked under André Lhote and Albert Gleizes in Paris before returning to become influential in the modern movement in Ireland and become one of the founders of the Irish Exhibition of Living Art. She later studied stained glass with Wilhelmina Geddes. Evie Hone was extremely devout; she spent time in an Anglican Convent in 1925 and converted to Catholicism in 1937. This may have influenced her decision to begin working in stained glass. Initially she worked as a member of the An Túr Gloine stained glass co-operative before setting up a studio of her own in Rathfarnham. ==Work in collections or on display== *All Hallows College College Chapel south stained glass window. *The Crawford Art Gallery, Cork * The East Window - Eton College Chapel, Windsor.〔(The Eton College website )〕 * ''My Four Green Fields'' - Government Buildings, Dublin.〔(UCC picture and explanation of Four Green Fields )〕 * Frontage including arms of provinces - Dublin Bus, O'Connell Street〔(The Dublin Bus building from Irish-architecture.com )〕 * Lanercost Priory, Cumbria 〔(Photographed on Stainedglassphotography.com )〕 * Manresa House, Dublin〔(Evie Hone window in the Jesuit Manresa House in Dublin ) from University College Cork retrieved 22 June 2013〕 * Trinity College Dublin * East Window, St Mary's Downe, Bromley, Kent * The Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery * Highlanes Gallery Drogheda, Co.
