Irish Pre Christian Art: About me

http://irishprechristianart.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html

Irish Pre Christian Art. I loved the light, the brushstrokes and the exotic images. I must have visited the National Gallery in. Almost every week in my teenage years. I couldn’t get enough. I knew where every painting hung and missed them when they were removed for conservation. My first visit to. It wasn’t until I was in my thirties that I was finally able to see those works at my leisure. It was thanks to my sister who brought me on day trips to. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Irish Pre Christian Art. Monday, March 7, 2011. Bronze age metalworkers were amazing craftsmen. The skills that they acquired with primitive tools would challenge today’s jewellers. The Lunula is an early piece of Bronze age jewellery, worn on the neck. It was made from gold that was found in the streams of the Wicklow hills.

Irish Pre Christian Art. Saturday, March 12, 2011. Newgrange in modern Ireland. Because it was now open for all to enter its sacredness was compromised. Animals sheltered inside the tomb and some of the cremated remains were lost. Eighteenth century graffiti artists engraved their names and date on the precious stonework and these are still visible today. Newgrange remained in that state until Michael J O'Kelly, an archaeologist from. Have we compromised these sacred sites? Do the benefits of having them...

Irish Pre Christian Art: Lock Rings

http://irishprechristianart.blogspot.com/2011/03/lock-rings.html

Irish Pre Christian Art. Wednesday, March 9, 2011. These are plates used by jewellers today to pull wire through to get different gauges. When the wire was formed it was twisted onto a stick such as the one in the picture below, but the stick used for making lock rings was tapered. Jewellers today would not be able to recreate these by hand without years of practice and plenty of ruined work along the way. Who has that time? Although, Bronze age man lived only 30 to 40 years.
