The Sun God 1972

This poster is a lithograph print, size 20”x30”, printed on high-quality gloss art paper.

This is a rather fanciful artwork depicting the Celtic Sun God MacGréine, the Son of the Sun, riding his winged steed across the sky bathed in the light of the sun.
In Irish Mythology MacGréine is the harbinger of the seasons and the Sun God, the mightiest of all the gods of the Celtic pantheon.
Mac Gréine was a king of the legendary and mystical tribe that invaded and conquered Ireland in ancient times, the Tuatha DéDanann.
His Queen was Ériu who gave her name to the Island of Ireland (Éireann) and to the Irish race, the Éireann.
I added a bright orange for the sun colour simply for dramatic effect and it worked well.
