Description
Discover the grandeur of Belfast Castle with the 'Belfast Castle - Northern Ireland Print,' a captivating artwork by Kathryn Callaghan. This open edition giclee print depicts the majestic Belfast Castle, set against the backdrop of Cave Hill Country Park with panoramic views across the city and lough.
Belfast Castle's history dates back to the 12th century when it was first built by the Normans in the heart of Belfast city. The original Norman structure underwent several transformations over the centuries. In 1611, Sir Arthur Chichester, Baron of Belfast, rebuilt the castle in stone and timber on the same site, a structure that would later burn down, leaving behind only street names as a legacy. The current Belfast Castle, known for its grand turrets and Scottish Baronial architectural style, was constructed in 1862 by the 3rd Marquis of Donegall, a descendant of the Chichester family. This Victorian-era castle, designed by architect John Lanyon, is positioned 120 meters above sea level and is a prominent feature of Belfast's landscape.
Kathryn Callaghan’s artistic rendition of Belfast Castle shines in bright plummy reds against a verdant green background, capturing both the historic significance and the architectural beauty of this iconic landmark. Hand-signed and crafted on archival fine art paper using fade-resistant inks, this print is a tribute to the castle’s enduring presence and the rich history it represents.
