Olympic Glory: Jack B. Yeats and The Liffey Swim

10 August - 30 mins
Podcast Series Three Castles Burning

The Liffey Swim is a beloved painting, and one of the most visited works in the National Gallery of Ireland. A century ago, it led to the first Olympic medal of the new Free State. With calls for the creative arts to return as a competitive dimension of the Olympics, this episode explores Jack B. Yeats and the cultural and political context of his win.
