“Celtic Cross at Cashel”
"Cashel of the Kings sits atop a huge rocky
outcropping overlooking the lovely ‘Golden Vale’ of County Tipperary.
The history of this most important medieval ruin begins in
approximately the 4th century when the Rock was claimed by clannish
Welshmen, the Eoghanachta. Saint Patrick himself visited the Rock in
the 5th century, converted King Aenghus, and proclaimed the site a
bishopric. In the 10th century, the great Ard Ri, Brian Boru, was
crowned here. In the 12th century Cashel was given to the Church and
Cormac MacCarthy commenced building his Chapel, which survives to
this day."
This painting of one of many Celtic Crosses
located there pays tribute to the many who lived, fought, survived, and
died here.
The Linen canvas is 16” x 20” and the size, including the complementary
embossed walnut-toned frame is about 23” x 27”.
The Price for this Original, including applicable Tax AND Shipping, is
$1,095.00.
