Wexford-oprørere 1798
Dette maleri forestiller irske oprørere i kamp med engelske tropper under det irske oprør i 1798. Under mit ophold i Irland i 1994 læste jeg at irerne brugte opskræmte køer til at skabe forvirring i blandt de engelske tropper. Denne lidt pudsige taktik inspirerede mig til dette maleri. I øjeblikket forbereder jeg endnu et maleri fra dette oprør, nemlig slaget ved Tara. |

Rebels in 1798 During my studies in Ireland I read about the Irish rebellion of 1798. This inspired me to do this painting. Apparently the Irish rebels in Wexford. succesfully used mad cows to create confusion among the English troops. Due to my visit to Ireland this summer (2000), I have decided to do yet another painting from this rebellion - the battle of the hill of Tara in county Meath. |
