Provenance

“James Connolly 1916” by Rod Coyne belongs to a series of sixteen portraits created to mark the 1916 Easter Rising Centenary. This depiction celebrates the Irish republican, socialist and trade union leader, he is shown here with the hint of mischief in his eyes.

This ethereal portrait draws from modern looking photos of the day but is drenched in antique blues and browns marking the passing of time. The subject has an easy attitude full of confidence. Rod Coyne’s painting is the perfect addition to any home or office for art collectors and Irish history fans alike. It is signed on the front and carries a date and inscription by the artist on the reverse.
