Some paintings don't just hang on a wall — they hold a room. Mainie Jellett's Virgin and Child (1936) is one of them. Ireland's most important modernist painter fused Cubist geometry with a deeply personal spiritual vision — a work that feels both ancient and utterly alive.
The original hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland. Your print is made to last as long: 250gsm museum-quality archival paper, fade-resistant pigment inks guaranteed for 75+ years — the colours stay exactly as Jellett intended. Luminous. Layered. Quietly powerful.
Choose framed or unframed. Framed prints arrive ready to hang in FSC-certified timber — black, white, or natural wood. Ships free from Dublin, worldwide, in rigid protective packaging.
This is Irish Modernism. Not a reproduction — a presence.
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.
