Edward Bunting (1773-1843) - Framed Reproduction Print

A portrait of the man who saved our melodies from silence.

Edward Bunting Portrait 1811

This is William Brocas's portrait of Edward Bunting, the Belfast-born musician and antiquarian who spent his life collecting traditional Irish musical airs before they vanished forever. Painted in 1811, it captures Bunting at the height of his work documenting the music of the harpers. If your family carried these melodies across the ocean, this portrait belongs in your home.

About the Artist

William Brocas (1794–1868) was a Dublin portrait painter who chronicled the faces of Ireland's cultural figures. His work is marked by directness and clarity—he painted people as they were, not as they wished to appear. Brocas understood that he was painting history.
