The Vincent family gifted Muckross House and Gardens to the people of Ireland.
“The Vincent links with Ireland are well known. In 1932 Arthur Rose Vincent and his father-in-law William Bowers Bourn presented Muckross and 11,000 acres to the people of Ireland as our first National Park. From the mid-70s to the mid-90s Elisabeth spent most summers in Dromkerry near Killarney with her family and grandchildren,” explained local historian and broadcaster Frank Lewis.
Born in Paris on April 29, 1921 Mrs Vincent celebrated her 100th birthday in 2021 in Monaco. She died on July 2, last year.
The eldest of three daughters, she was educated in France and in England, and worked in the fashion world in Paris.
After marrying Arthur William Bourn Vincent in 1952 Elisabeth moved to San Francisco. In addition to an active social life, she started and headed for several years a haute couture house in San Francisco.
Later she turned to painting in her San Francisco studio.
Her works of an avant-garde and partly abstract style have rarely been exhibited publicly. Most remained in her possession.
