EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the ruins of St Orans Chapel and Cathedral on the enchanting island of Iona, Scotland. The image, created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, transports us to a place where history and nature intertwine. The crumbling stone walls of St Orans Chapel stand as a testament to centuries gone by. Moss-covered and weathered, they exude an air of mystery and evoke a sense of reverence for those who once worshipped within these hallowed grounds. The cathedral's majestic silhouette looms behind it, its grandeur still visible despite the passage of time. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear whispers carried by the wind through these ancient ruins. We imagine monks chanting their prayers or perhaps villagers seeking solace within these sacred walls. It is a scene that speaks volumes about human devotion and resilience. The Illustrated London News featured this illustration on September 11th, 1847 - capturing not only the beauty but also preserving a moment in history for generations to come. This print serves as a window into another era; it invites us to explore our own connection with spirituality while marveling at the architectural wonders left behind by those who came before us. Bridgeman Images has graciously shared this piece from their collection with Fine Art Finder so that we may continue to appreciate and be inspired by its timeless allure.
