EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Irish history - St. Patrick marking Connal's shield with the Cross. Taken from "The Trias Thuamaturga" a renowned publication by Mary Cusack, this lithograph showcases the incredible work of the 19th-century Irish School. In this scene, we witness St. Patrick, revered as the patron saint of Ireland, fulfilling his role as an apostle and bishop. With great conviction and faith, he converts Connal, who happens to be the brother of the powerful Irish King Laoghaire. The image exudes a sense of divine intervention as St. Patrick etches the sacred symbol onto Connal's shield. This act signifies not only Connal's personal conversion but also represents an important turning point for Ireland itself. Published around the 1890s and now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this engraving holds immense historical value. It offers us a glimpse into ancient times when religion played a pivotal role in shaping nations and individuals alike. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us reflect on how one man's unwavering belief can inspire profound change within society. St. Patrick's legacy lives on through images like these that continue to captivate hearts and minds across generations.
