Description
Francis Sylvester Mahony (1804-1866), also known by the pen name Father Prout, was an Irish humorist and journalist. This plaster portrait bust is by the Irish sculptor Richard Barter (1824-1896). A marble version also exists in the collection of Crawford Art Gallery.
In his native Cork, Mahony is best remembered for his poem "The Bells of Shandon" and his pen-name is synonymous with the city and the church of St. Ann's, Shandon. The 1836 edition of his "Reliques of Father Prout" was illustrated by his contemporary, and fellow Cork-born artist, Daniel Maclise RA (1806-1870).
