The Virgin of Éire (c.1940) by Mainie Jellett – Irish Art Print
One of Ireland's most significant modernist paintings — now available as an archival fine art print.
The Virgin of Éire (c.1940) is widely considered Mainie Jellett's masterpiece: a synthesis of Irish spiritual tradition and Cubist geometry, painted in the final years of her life. The composition centres the Madonna and Child in a bold, interlocking tapestry of colour and form — unmistakably Irish, unmistakably modern. It is the kind of painting that stops a room.
The original is held in the National Gallery of Ireland. This fine art print brings it home.
