Dimensions : 40cm x 50cm
Medium : Acrylic on Canvas, Framed
Date of Completion :17th May 2025
The world was in lockdown and everything stood still. On the evening of March 27, 2020, a solitary, white-clad Pope Francis walked across the vast, rain-slicked and empty St. Peter’s Square, creating one of the most haunting visual images of our times. Beneath a darkening sky and a relentless drizzle, the ancient stones of the Vatican—usually teeming with thousands—echoed only with the tolling of a single bell. Standing alone in the deserted and wet square, the Pope delivered a prayer in which he described the world as a fragile boat tossed by an unexpected storm.
Painted this shortly after the passing of Pope Francis on 21st April, 2025.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
- An Irish Blessing
