摘要

Watching over the central lobby of the Houses of Parliament are four mosaic panels representing the patron saints of the constituent nations of the UK. Originally intended to frame 'the centre of the British Empire', in the laudatory language of the Victorian parliamentary clerk Erskine May, these works remained incomplete for lack of funds and political squabbling until the early 1920s. They were completed at the very moment that the United Kingdom began to come apart, rent asunder by the Irish war of independence. As a reflection of these altered circumstances, St Patrick's mosaic was reworked: he was flanked by St Colomba, patron saint of Derry, atop the Red Hand of Ulster, and St Brigid, resting on a harp, symbolising the Irish Free State. The partition of Ireland was thus inscribed into the decorative motifs of the epicentre of parliament.
