Painted in 1946, Men of Destiny may reflect Jack B. Yeats’s contemplation of Ireland’s past and uncertain future, thirty years after the Easter Rising and just one year after the Second World War. Drawing on memories of fishermen coming ashore at Rosses Point in Sligo, Yeats transforms an everyday coastal scene into what may be a powerful meditation on courage, sacrifice and freedom. Are the figures of ordinary men leaving familiar lives to fight for their country? Its title carries a double meaning, recalling both Ireland as the ‘Land of Destiny’ and the ‘Warriors of Destiny’ of Fianna Fáil.
