EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Lord Edward Fitzgerald (1763-1798), the twelfth child of the Duke of Leinster, painted by the renowned Irish portrait artist Hugh Douglas Hamilton (1739-1808) around the year 1798. Hamilton, one of the most significant figures in Irish portrait painting during the second half of the 18th century, worked extensively in London and Rome before returning to Dublin in 1792. After his return, Hamilton's portrait practice included many prominent figures in Irish society. Lord Edward Fitzgerald was a leading figure in the United Irishmen, a revolutionary society whose ultimate goal was to establish an independent Irish republic, free from British rule. Tragically, Fitzgerald met his end in Newgate Prison, having sustained fatal wounds while on the run from government forces. This poignant portrait is one of eight depictions of Fitzgerald by Hamilton, with the most famous being the three-quarter length version housed in the National Gallery of Ireland. Hamilton's masterful brushstrokes capture the intensity and determination in Fitzgerald's eyes, reflecting the passion and conviction of the Irish revolutionary leader. This portrait provides a poignant reminder of the complex and tumultuous history of Irish independence and the sacrifices made by those who fought for it.
