How does Men of Destiny elucidate its Subject and title?
The painting depicts three fishermen securing a boat at Rosses Point in Sligo, in the west of Ireland.  Painted in the period between the Easter Rising and the Republic of Ireland Act 1948, it has been suggested that the title could refer to the destiny of ordinary men, like the fishermen shown, to defend Irish freedom.The phrase "Men of Destiny" has also been used as a translation of the Irish Fianna Fáil (more commonly "Soldiers of Destiny"), which was the Irish name for the Irish Volunteers (as well as featuring in the Irish national anthem and as the name of an Irish potlical party).
