Gazing at the Eoinín na nÉan sculpture, one might wonder about the story behind this captivating artwork. The Eoinín na nÉan, erected in Cornelscourt Village, County Dublin in 2008, is a bronze sculpture created by Irish artist Colm J. Brennan, born in 1943. The title, Eoinín na nÉan, translates to “Eoineen of the Birds.” This evocative name perfectly suits the image of a young boy encircled by birds. The Eoinín na nÉan sculpture almost whispers of a deep connection to nature, a sense of childhood wonder and the boundless freedom of birds in flight. Interestingly, a smaller model, or maquette, of the Eoinín na nÉan exists. It measures 68 x 35 x 35 cm. This maquette offers a glimpse into Brennan’s artistic process and was once in the artist’s own possession. In 2019, this maquette of Eoinín na nÉan was sold at auction for €2,800. It’s fascinating to consider the journey of this artwork, from the artist’s studio to its prominent place in Cornelscourt Village and the smaller version’s path to a private collector. The Eoinín na nÉan continues to charm and intrigue those who encounter it.
