Peter Martin's 'Love Birds' Mural Print

The beautiful ‘Lovebirds’ mural on Grattan Street, Cork by the incredibly talented artist Peter Martin. From Peter’s own Instagram page (@petermartin.cork) - ‘This piece commemorates the wedding of Terence MacSwiney and his wife Muriel. The couple were wed while Terence was under house arrest in England. Muriel was a massive figure of strength throughout Terence’s struggle for Irish freedom and his eventual hunger strike. She was an active member of Cumann na mBan and was also the first woman to be given the Freedom of New York City. The background is based on the mosaic floor of the Honan chapel, a masterpiece of the Celtic Revival movement which played a key role in the Revolution in Ireland’.
