John Hogan’s ‘Drunken Faun’ (1826) shows how the Cork-born sculptor, working in 1820s Rome, used the male nude as a vehicle for patriotic and Catholic political expression, as I discuss in ‘Irish Migrations and Classical Antiquity’, available online open access with @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

Personifying Ireland, Hibernia - or the Maid of Erin - appears on Cork’s National Monument. Unveiled in 1906, the monument honours the Irish rebellions of the 1700s & 1800s. Carved by John F. Davis, Hibernia stands with classic symbols of Irish cultural nationalism: the Gaelic harp and Celtic cross.

In 1849, Irish nationalist William Smith O’Brien (1803-64) was deported to Australia to serve a life sentence. After his 1854 pardon, the Irish community there commissioned a gold cup designed by Irish emigrant William Hackett, which shows Hibernia as Liberty crowning O’Brien with a laurel wreath.

The 19th-cen. Currier & Ives print ‘Emmet’s Betrothed’ portrays Sarah Curran as Hibernia. As I discuss in Classics Ireland 31, this work reflects a wider trend in Irish visual culture to transform women into ‘living allegories’. (Image: Philadelphia Art Museum) classicsireland.ie/wp-content/u...
