About This Image

I believe that I will always be struck by the amazing art that populates some of our older cemeteries. The beautiful statue in this print is but one lone example of the statuary and monuments I saw in my long morning exploring Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin.

I didn’t do a lot of research before heading to Ireland. I had a month and I really wanted to enjoy that luxury and play it by ear. So, I had actually never heard of Glasnevin before arriving in Dublin. In fact, I happened to spot Glasnevin out the bus window as I was heading out of Dublin on my second day there. The beautiful sight I saw over the cemetery walls never left. And about a week later when I found myself in Dublin once more, I was determined to find the massive cemetery I’d seen from those bus windows.

It turns out that I had chanced upon the largest non-denominational cemetery in Ireland. Glasnevin is the final resting place to a million and a half souls. And of course, it’s ever so historic! Can’t you tell?

Although some of the recent memorials were also quite beautiful, I suspect ones like this classical female statue are from the Victorian era, a period of history when funeral art truly flourished. The statues like the ones I photographed at Glasnevin would have been quite at home in an art museum. I was struck by how much this robed lady reminded me of ancient Roman statues I’d seen when I visited Italy. It’s clear the sculptor was echoing those ancient classical artists.

Have you had the chance to roam around Glasnevin Cemetery and appreciate the beautiful artwork there? Or do you simply love these beautiful monuments?

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.
