Anna Livia Plurabelle.
This painting is based on the main character in Joyce?s ?Finnegans Wake?. The character is interchangeable between a heroine and a river (The Liffey), which enters the sea as it flows through Dublin. It is therefore both.
The image is from one of a series of river gods commissioned by the famous architect James Gandon (1743-1823) from Edward Smyth, a virtually unknown stonemason who worked on them from 1780 to their completion in 1786, for the Custom House in Dublin.
The ?heads of the river? were 14 in number and were called after 14 different rivers in Ireland. For this painting, I have chosen the River Liffey, which flows through Dublin to the sea. ©RogerCummiskey.com
