Yes,
Of course the purpose of such paintings was not to depict the themes in a
realistic or historical manner - but they are certainly more than just a
transfer or translation of a topic, a story, in the present time of the
painter.
For example in that picture you see all at once.

Hi Jim
Interesting object. It reminds me of a piece of bomb shrapnel. It does not
appear to be a meteorite, but maybe you could remove a tiny piece and do a
nickel test.

The photo caption says it's not magnetic and is very light. So
chances are (combined with the appearance), it's not a meteorite.
It's an interesting little piece of metal that probably has a good
story behind it, but I think it's terrestrial.
Best regards,

Bovedy is in Northern Ireland, not Ireland, they're different countries.
There are 6 official Fightin' Irish meteorites. (Plus 2 from Northern

The first was the observed fall of Pettiswood in 1779. It's an un

You're right all the Irish meteorites are observed falls. What are the
chances of 3 unpaired observed H5 falls all occurring in Munster Ireland in
1810, 1813, and again in 1865? Sounds incredible.

If by "wrong", you mean "illegal", then I would agree with you.

that's a wonderful collection and a fine documentary work as well.
