James Connolly Easter Rising Print – 1916 Irish History Wall Art

One of the most powerful figures of the 1916 Easter Rising, James Connolly stands here in defiance during the battle for Ireland’s future.

A leader of the Irish Citizen Army and one of the signatories of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, Connolly played a central role in the events of Easter Week 1916 at Dublin’s General Post Office.

This dramatic artwork captures the spirit of that moment — the Irish tricolour flying above the GPO as the Rising unfolds around him. Smoke, fire and determination frame Connolly as he stands ready to defend the dream of an independent Ireland.

Created as part of a growing Irish history collection honouring the 110th Anniversary of the Easter Rising (1916–2026), this print celebrates the courage, sacrifice and vision of those who helped shape modern Ireland.

Printed with rich colour and striking detail, this piece makes a powerful statement in any room and is perfect for those proud of their Irish heritage.

Whether displayed in a home, study, office, or Irish pub, it serves as a reminder of the men and women who stood for Irish freedom.

This artwork pairs beautifully with other pieces in the Irish Corner historical series, including:

• Padraig Pearse – Reading the Proclamation
• The Irish Proclamation Print
• Seven Signatories of the Proclamation

Together they form a powerful tribute to the events of Easter Week 1916.
