## About Terence Philip Flanagan

Terence Philip Flanagan (1929–2011), widely known as T. P. Flanagan, was a Northern Irish landscape painter and teacher. Authority records identify him as an Irish or Northern Irish artist, reflecting different cataloguing conventions, while agreeing on his life years and work as a painter. He studied painting at Belfast College of Art and later taught at St. Mary's College of Education in Belfast. Landscape is the clearest documented focus of his practice, and his listing in Art UK's national collection index connects his identity with publicly held works. Collectors may encounter his work under either his full name or the abbreviated T. P. Flanagan. For identification, the artist's dates, regional context, landscape subject, and documented teaching career offer stronger signals when considered together than his name alone. Appraisily treats the nationality wording cautiously because the collected authority sources do not use exactly the same label.

## Common works and media

The collected sources most clearly associate Flanagan with paintings of landscape subjects. They do not establish a documented body of prints, sculptures, ceramics, posters, or editioned works, so those categories should not be assumed without object-specific evidence and further research.

## Market and appraisal context

Flanagan's Appraisily artist page brings together public auction information associated with his name, but an appraisal should compare genuinely similar objects rather than treat every attributed work as equivalent. The documented landscape focus is an important starting point when selecting comparables. Identity matching also matters because records may use either Terence Philip Flanagan or T. P. Flanagan. Where auction data are available, sale date, realized price, and the characteristics of the comparable lot should be reviewed together. The collected source pack does not support a price trend or forward estimate, and its identity sources contain little object-level market detail. Any conclusion should therefore remain tied to the specific work and relevant public records.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available.
