There's something about Achill Island that gets into the bones. Mainie Jellett captured it in 1941 — horses moving through the wild Atlantic landscape with a rhythm that feels less painted than felt. It was one of her last great works. The original hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland.
Now it can hang in yours. Printed on 250gsm archival matte paper with pigment inks that resist fading for 75+ years — the colour, the movement, the western light, preserved exactly as Jellett composed them.
Available framed in black, white, or natural wood — FSC-certified timber, ready to hang. Ships free from Dublin worldwide in rigid protective packaging.
For the diaspora, for collectors, for anyone who knows what it feels like to be from the west of Ireland.
About the Artist — Mainie Jellett (1897–1944) ▼
Born in Dublin in 1897, Mainie Jellett trained in London before moving to Paris, where she studied under Cubist masters André Lhote and Albert Gleizes. She returned to Ireland as the country's most radical modernist — her early abstract works were dismissed as "an insult to the Irish people" by critics. She persisted. In 1943 she co-founded the Irish Exhibition of Living Art, breaking the conservative grip of the Royal Hibernian Academy. She died the following year at just 46. The National Gallery of Ireland holds several of her most significant works.
