The Ruins of O'Connell Street, 1916 — Fine Art Print

In the immediate aftermath of the Easter Rising, Belgian artist Edmond Delrenne stood on Dublin's main thoroughfare and recorded what he saw. The result is one of the few contemporary visual documents of the destruction the Rising left behind — a drawing in charcoal and watercolour that captures the ruined streetscape around the General Post Office and the neighbouring buildings that had been at the heart of the fighting.

About the Work

The Ruins of O'Connell Street (1916), also known as Sackville Street in Ruins, depicts the devastation of central Dublin's main thoroughfare — then called Sackville Street, now O'Connell Street — in the days following the Rising. Rendered in charcoal and watercolour with white highlights on paper, the work has the quality of a first-hand record. The original drawing measures 17.1 × 26 cm and is catalogued as NGI.18486 in the National Gallery of Ireland collection.

About the Artist

Edmond Delrenne was a Belgian artist active c.1915–1918 who documented Dublin during one of the most turbulent periods in its history. His small group of Dublin views, produced in the immediate aftermath of the Easter Rising, are among the few contemporary painted and drawn records of the destruction in the city centre.

About this work

This view of Dublin after the Easter Rising was drawn by the Belgian artist Edmond Delrenne in 1916. It shows the burnt-out shell of Sackville Street — renamed O'Connell Street in 1924 — after the week of shelling and fire that followed the Rising. The National Gallery of Ireland catalogues it as Sackville Street in Ruins. The original is charcoal and watercolour with white highlights on paper, 17.1 × 26 cm, and is held by the National Gallery of Ireland (NGI.18486), presented in 1982. This print is an open edition, made to order and shipped worldwide.
