We are proud to announce that Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield has acquired The Irish Peasant’s Grave (1843) by John Joseph Tracey — a rare pre-Famine painting depicting an Irish burial in rural Ireland.

Goodacre, known for her clay sketches and public monuments, used Famine to tell a powerful story in a modest scale. The sculpture captures human despair and resilience, making it a poignant reminder of the strength required to survive such dark times. #GreatHungerMuseum #FamineMemorial #fineart
Charlotte Kelly’s Abandonment (2011) captures the loneliness of famine and loss, a feeling many can relate to today. The muted tones evoke desolation, yet also remind us of the resilience of our ancestors during Ireland’s Great Hunger. Their strength lives on in us. #GreatHungerMuseum #Resilience
Explore this and other evocative works at Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield. Through art, we honor Ireland’s resilience and remind the world of the lessons its history offers.

This 16-figure bronze, commissioned to interpret the Irish Famine experience, captures the profound emotions of loss and resilience. Each figure tells a story, a moment frozen in time, from despair to hope. #GreatHungerMuseum #Fairfield
