August
2003 In
1981, on the first of many visits to Ireland, Daniel De’Angeli
was captivated by the story of the wanderings of the 6th century
Irish Saint Brendan the Navigator. Returning to his studio
in Florence he devoted the next five years to painting a series
of watercolours depicting his personal vision of Brendan's
search for the promised land of the saints in the Atlantic
waters.
The
series The Voyage of Saint Brendan was shown for the
first time in 1987 in Dublin at the Italian Cultural Institute.
In 1988 it was chosen to open the set of tributes that the
Italian Embassy to Ireland and the Cultural Institute organised
to celebrate the Dublin Millennium. Subsequently the works
were exhibited on ten occasions in Ireland, Italy, Norway,
Sweden, Finland and Malta.
In
1994 the book The Voyage of Saint Brendan was published
by Four Courts Press, Dublin, with a grant by the Embassy
of Italy to Ireland. Professor Emeritus John O’Meara’s masterly
translation of the 9th century text of the Navigatio Sancti
Brendani Abbatis was combined with the original paintings
presented in the exhibition.
Despite
many offers to buy individual paintings Daniel De’Angeli always
insisted that the collection remain intact, therefore it is
with great pleasure that he can now announce that the 28 works
on paper of the series The Voyage of Saint Brendan have recently
been sold to a collector in the west of Ireland.
The
collection is to be periodically loaned to public places,
and there are plans to republish the book.
