Martin Cregan, a portrait painter, practised both in Dublin and London. He was born in 1788 in County Westmeath, and was a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy from its foundation in 1823, and for many years its President. Prom 1812 to 1821, whilst he resided in London, he exhibited yearly at the Royal Academy. His last contribution was a portrait of Miss Dance as 'Mrs. Haller.' He returned to Dublin in 1822, and was patronized by the elite of that city.
He died in 1870 and was buried in Mount Jerome Cemetery. The Dublin National Gallery has a copy by him of Sir Joshua Reynolds's portrait of Master Crewe.
