Celebs pitch for favourite painting

The celebrities championing the works of art in RTÉ’s Masterpiece campaign to discover Ireland’s favourite painting may be better known than the artists.

For Adi Roche, Louis le Brocquy’s painting A Family, is a clear winner, while Joe Duffy backs Jack B Yeats’s Communicating With Prisoners.

Both are among the 10 finalists in the five-week campaign that highlights some of the greatest works of art on view in Ireland.
