Experience one of the defining statements of Irish Modernism with this museum-quality reproduction of I Have Trodden the Winepress Alone by Mainie Jellett (1897–1944) — a visionary artist whose work fused faith, form, and modern abstraction.
Painted during the 1930s, this deeply spiritual composition depicts a solitary Christ figure, rendered through rhythmic planes of red, rose, and violet. The title — drawn from Isaiah 63:3 — evokes the themes of sacrifice, solitude, and redemption, expressed not through realism but through pure form and colour. The angular, radiating lines suggest both suffering and transcendence, capturing Jellett’s belief that abstract art could embody divine truth.
Trained under William Orpen in Dublin and later under André Lhote and Albert Gleizes in Paris, Jellett became a key figure in introducing abstraction to Ireland. Her studies in Cubism transformed her understanding of rhythm, geometry, and spirituality. I Have Trodden the Winepress Alone stands as a culmination of these influences — a painting that bridges modernism and mysticism, and remains one of her most moving religious works.
