‘Fide et Patria – for faith and fatherland’
Fr Robert McCabe outlines the work of Richard King (1907-1974) under the title “Fide et Patria – for faith and fatherland”. His presentation explores King’s apprenticeship under Harry Clarke, his blending of Christian imagery with Celtic patterns in stained-glass, oils on canvas and his etchings for postage stamps.
Recently discovered preliminary sketches of the Four Evangelists (installed in 1950 in St Mary’s, Navan) also feature as part of this lecture which may be of interest to Art Teachers and Students at secondary level.
