EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Finn, the legendary Irish hero, as he listens intently to the distant melodies of a fairy harp. Painted by Stephen Reid in 1910, this piece serves as the frontispiece for The High Deeds of Finn and other Bardic Romances of Ancient Ireland by TW Rolleston. Dressed in a magnificent cloak that billows behind him, Finn stands tall and proud, embodying the spirit of heroism and warriorship. Finn McCool, son of Cumhaill, is an iconic figure from Irish mythology known for his hunting skills and bravery. In this image, Reid skillfully portrays him with meticulous attention to detail - from his traditional attire to his powerful spear held firmly in hand. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene while capturing the rich history and folklore associated with Ireland. The artist's portrayal not only showcases Finn's physical strength but also hints at his mythical connection with nature through the presence of fairies and their enchanting music. This evocative composition transports viewers into a world where legends come alive amidst picturesque landscapes. As part of Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, this remarkable print preserves both artistic excellence and cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to Stephen Reid's talent in bringing mythological tales to life on canvas while paying homage to Thomas William Hazen Rolleston's literary contributions.
