Jesuit Portraits

The British Jesuit Province comissioned the young artist Ellen Riley to paint this series of twelve portraits to mark the 2014 bicentenary of the Restoration of the Society of Jesus. These men represent the vigour and work of the restored Society. Ellen died during their painting at the age of 24. The works were completed in her style by her artist husband Cédric Charleuf.
