Description

Oil on board
Painting i'm thinking of putting into the flight of the earls festival in Donegal.

In 1607 a group of Ireland's noble elite left their land and people to find refuge and seek assistance for their cause in Europe. Their departure became known as the Flight of the Earls and would cause a ripple through history that would last to present day. The Flight of the Earls marked the end of an ancient Gaelic Order and made way for the Plantation of Ulster. It also became a key event in the establishment of the Irish Diaspora across the globe.
