Ennis Friary, Creagh tomb
Ennis Friary, Creagh tomb
Ennis Friary, Creagh tomb. Detail of a scene showing the betrayal of Christ. This is very similar to a number of carvings found on alabaster altar pieces made in England during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and is probably a copy of one, that perhaps once decorated the altar at Ennis.

Virgin Shroud (1993) by Dorothy Cross (b.1956)
Virgin Shroud (1993) by Dorothy Cross (b.1956)
Virgin Shroud (1993) by Dorothy Cross (b.1956). Cow hide, satin train, steel structure. The combination of cow’s udder (to form a bridal crown) and pure white dress, indicates the contradictions of traditional marital expectations, between virgin purity and reproductive nurturing. The ‘shroud’ of the title suggests such marriage was an end rather than a beginning.

Mass in a Connemara Cabin (1883) by Aloysius O’Kelly (1853-c.1951)
Mass in a Connemara Cabin (1883) by Aloysius O’Kelly (1853-c.1951)
Mass in a Connemara Cabin (1883) by Aloysius O’Kelly (1853-c.1951) illustrates a practice common in rural locations in Ireland at the time. Note the picture of the Sacred Heart on the wall, an image that was common in Irish Catholic homes until well into the 20th century. Such images were usually mass-produced prints of works by relatively unknown artists. Courtesy of the National Gallery of Ireland.
