The Marriage of Strongbow and Aoife by Daniel MacLise The subject of this monumental and meticulously detailed picture is the marriage at Waterford in 1170 of the Norman military adventurer Richard de Clare, known as Strongbow, and the daughter of Dermot McMurrough, King of Leinster. The union has often been identified as representing the formal establishment of a Norman foothold in Ireland. Conceived for the decoration of the Palace of Westminster, the painting is an ambiguous representation of the victorious Normans and the vanquished Irish. Strongbow places his foot upon a fallen Celtic cross, King Dermot looks on in alarm, and an elderly musician slumps on his harp.

The Artist's Studio by John Lavery John Lavery and his wife Hazel were well known in exclusive social circles in London during the 1910s. As such, they had contact with some of the most powerful figures in early twentieth-century Britain, including Winston Churchill. Churchill suffered from bouts of severe depression throughout his life, describing it as his 'black dog'. Hazel Lavery introduced him to painting as a means of easing his suffering. Churchill discovered this to be an effective antidote to his depression, and developed it into a passion that would remain with him throughout his life. He was initially instructed by Hazel, but later joined John Lavery in his studio, occasionally painting alongside him.

The Meeting on the Turret Stairs by Federic William Burton The subject is taken from a medieval Danish ballad translated by Burton's friend Whitley Stokes in 1855, which tells the story of Hellelil, who fell in love with her personal guard Hildebrand, Prince of Engelland. Her father disapproved of the relationship and ordered her seven brothers to kill the young prince. Burton chose to imagine a romantic moment from the story before the terrible end: the final meeting of the two lovers.

The artist is Spice Bag, a Dublin artist whose picture of depicting a famine eviction with modern day Gardai elicited a massive reaction.Some of the conversations surrounding Spice Bag's picture, were the legitimacy of the parallel between the famine evictions and todays housing crisis, how all art is political, and art can express and elicit a reaction and response that is essential in engaging people with social crises.

Teallach is the gaelic word for hearth.

The hearth was of central importance in Celtic society. The cottage was build around the family hearth. Turf burned continuously there day and night.
This was a symbol of family continuity, where many traditional crafts were carried out. It provided warmth and nourishment and was a gathering place for story-telling and music, it symbolised an open place for hospitality to all.
Conversations were had, stories were told, knitting and patchwork was done, the wireless was listened to, friends and neighbours were greeted and entertained, plans were made and problems solved. Whether it be listening to the match on the wireless, the unplanned afternoon nap or reading the newspaper - it all took place around the fire.

Ireland in 10 songs

Loading...

An Irish folk ballad, 'The Fields of Athenry' tells the story of a young man, Michael, from the Athenry area, 25 miles from Galway, who is caught stealing corn to feed his family during the Irish famine (1845-1850) and deported to Botany Bay, Australia.

Few songs have the power to unite a nation quite like 'The Fields of Athenry'. Regularly heard at sporting events, pub sessions and music festivals around the country - and indeed the world - the song has become the unofficial Irish anthem, with more than 800 versions on YouTube.
This songs describes the impact of the famine on the people of the area of Athenry in Galway. This ballad was originally written in 1979 by Pete St. John performed by Danny Doyle that same year. It has since been officially covered by over 500 performers.

"I set the song in Athenry, a little Galway village where the potato fields lay empty - the fields of Athenry... The people were starving, and corn had been imported from America to help them. But it was Indian corn, with a kernel so hard that the mills here in Ireland couldn't grind it," St. John told the Scottish Daily Record.

This songs describes the impact of the famine on the people of the area of Athenry in Galway. This ballad was originally written in 1979 by Pete St. John performed by Danny Doyle that same year. It has since been officially covered by over 500 performers.

In sport, the song is sung by Glasgow Celtic fans, and always at Irish rugby internationals. However, most enduring of all are the extraordinary images of Irish fans at Euro 2012 pouring their hearts into singing 'The Fields of Athenry' for over 8 minutes, even as Ireland were being beaten 4-0 by Spain, in Gdansk, Poland.

In modern versions it is common to sing the line 'oh baby let the free birds fly' after the second line of the chorus.

Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
(oh baby let the free birds fly)
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

This Irish ballad, written in 1985 by Frank and Seán O'Meara, tells the tragic story of Grace Gifford, who married her fiancé, rebel leader Joseph Mary Plunkett, in Dublin's notorious Kilmainham Gaol. Seven hours after their 15-minute wedding ceremony at the gaol's austere chapel, Plunkett was executed by firing squad for his part in the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin.

During the centenary celebrations of the Easter rising in 2016 Grace was proudly sung in schools and theatres from Dublin to Donegal and Skibbereen to Sligo. In the 30+ years that have passed since the song was first written; Grace has become a symbol of the romantic ideology in which Irish people remember the sacrifice of the leaders of the Easter rising.

This version by some contemporary Irish artists was broadcast on national television.

Rod Stewart recorded the song after hearing Glasgow Celtic songs sing it. The singer accepts that recording the Irish republican ballad might be seen by some as a controversial choice. "If you mean it's an IRA song, it isn't," he told The Independent. "They were the Irish freedom fighters then, but more importantly it's a great love song."
