The face of Ireland's greatest poet, painted by the hand that raised him.
Portrait of W.B. Yeats
John Butler Yeats captured his son William at the threshold of genius in this intimate 1900 portrait, now hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland. The painting shows the young Nobel laureate with characteristic intensity, his gaze fixed on something beyond the canvas. This is your chance to bring home the face of the man who gave voice to Irish dreams.
About the Artist
John Butler Yeats was a Dublin-born painter and father to one of literature's immortals. He spent his life between Ireland and New York, creating honest, searching portraits that captured the inner lives of his subjects. In painting his son, he created not just a family keepsake, but a window into the mind of a poet who would reshape how the world understood Ireland.
