when Paul Durcan is around

Crazy about Women (1991) is a collection of poems by Paul Durcan inspired by  visits to the National Gallery of Ireland. There Durcan saw paintings both by Irish as well as foreign artists.
The painting reproduced on the cover of the book (and here on a clickable thumbnail) is by Giambattista Moroni (1525-1568). The painting is from c. 1565. Paul Durcan's text is found at this link.
