Vibrant 1916 prints by illustrator Jon Berkeley
Jon writes:
The 1916 Leaders Project was commissioned for the Irish Independent by designer Joe Coyle in late summer 2015. The ten paintings featured as covers for a series of special supplements, edited by Ger Siggins for the Independent, leading up to the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising.
Each painting depicts a key player, surrounded by other people and events of significance in the Easter rebellion, its preparation and its momentous consequences.
The paintings are a uniform size at 360 x 305mm, and will form part of the Irish Independent’s major exhibition in Talbot Street, Dublin, to commemorate the centenary of the rising. And available to buy as prints (at link below).

Joseph Plunkett looks a lot like Eoin O Broin who looks a bit like Himler.
