Original Painting - The Round Tower at Glendalough

Oil on Wood Panel 2022 Deep in the heart of Wicklow County, just south of Dublin, is the incredible and ancient monastic community of Glendalough. Amongst the crumbling chapels, high Celtic crosses, and indecipherable gravestones stands the round tower. Sitting prominently in the landscape, it is thought that round towers were erected as either bell towers to mark religious services or as refuge for the monks during Viking Raids between the 9th and 12th centuries. 6" x 8" This painting comes framed in solid wood with a champagne-silver finish.
