Roger Casement was executed #OTD in 1916 for high treason. Sir John Lavery was invited to paint the scene of his appeal against the guilty verdict at the Old Bailey, London. There was an uneasy reaction to the artwork and it was still in Lavery’s studio at his death in 1941.

Ten thousand no's to this sheer laziness. For an organisation that is based on promoting Irish culture, the GAA should be promoting our multitude of talented artists, illustrators, and designers. Instead, they are devaluing their skills by using AI-generated images.
