About This Image

The proper name of the rambling Gothic church in this vintage style art print is the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. But to most in Dublin this landmark church is known simply as Christ Church Cathedral. I will always have a soft spot for grand old rambling churches like this one. There’s something genuinely organic about the architecture of old cathedrals. After all they often took generations to construct initially, and in that time those plans evolved and changed along with changing styles. Never mind the myriad of renovations that took place afterward where new styles were grafted on to older cathedrals. One wonders how often the final product ever truly fit the original designs?

In the case of Christ Church Cathedral, I’ve read that the church we see today bears little of its medieval roots. In Victorian times, Christ Church Cathedral was literally collapsing. The decision was made to rebuild the old church. As seems to be common of the Victorian era, the results of Christ Church Cathedral’s renovation are much more Gothic Revival architecture than an historically faithful reconstruction. There’s a part of me that would love to see the original medieval church, but I personally love Gothic Revival. It’s sort of a fairy tale architecture in my mind.

With this Victorian fantasy in mind, I decided to give this art print of Christ Church Cathedral a whimsical textured treatment. I wanted it to feel like an old picture on parchment that’s spent years yellowing. The vintage coloring and style of my artwork ends up being as romanticized as the Victorian architecture it features.

Have you stared up at the towering Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin? Or is it the vintage fantasy styling of this Irish print that most speaks to you?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
