Mainie Jellett's The Virgin of Éire as an archival print — the Madonna and Child flanked by Saint Patrick and Saint Brigid, one of the landmark works of Irish modernism.

Painted in the early 1940s and held by the National Gallery of Ireland, it fuses the clarity of medieval Irish art with the Cubist rhythm of colour and form Jellett brought back from Paris. It was shown at the inaugural Irish Exhibition of Living Art in 1943, whose committee she chaired.

Mainie Jellett (1897–1944), born in Dublin, studied under William Orpen before training in Paris with André Lhote and Albert Gleizes. With Evie Hone she exhibited the first abstract paintings shown in Ireland, in 1923.

A bold, colourful focal point above a sofa, sideboard or fireplace — and a meaningful piece for anyone who cares about Irish art and identity.
