EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Irish history - "St. Patrick preaching at Tara". Taken from Mary Cusack's renowned book, The Trias Thuamaturga, this lithograph published in the late 19th century transports us back to ancient times. In the image, we see St. Patrick standing tall and resolute as he addresses a crowd gathered at Tara. As the patron saint of Ireland, his mission was to spread Christianity throughout the land. This pivotal event granted him the freedom to do just that. Surrounded by an air of mysticism and intrigue, St. Patrick engages with both curiosity and skepticism from those around him. The engraving beautifully depicts the clash between druidism and paganism on one side and Christian evangelism on the other. The composition skillfully captures not only St. Patrick's commanding presence but also highlights the contrasting beliefs present during that era. It serves as a powerful reminder of Ireland's rich cultural heritage and its transformation into a predominantly Christian nation. This extraordinary piece from The Stapleton Collection allows us to delve into Irish history while contemplating themes of faith, spirituality, and religious tolerance. Whether you are fascinated by ancient legends or appreciate art that tells stories through imagery alone, this print is sure to captivate your imagination for years to come.
