EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia wash drawing depicts the enigmatic Kempe Stones in Dundonald, County Down, Northern Ireland. Dated 1849, the artwork was created by the renowned Irish artist James Moore (1819-1883). The Kempe Stones, also known as the Druid's Altar or the Table Stones, are an intriguing megalithic site that has long captured the imagination of visitors and historians alike. Located on the slopes of Scrabo Tower, the Kempe Stones consist of a large flat stone, believed to be a natural outcrop, surrounded by smaller stones. The exact origin and purpose of the site remain a mystery, with theories suggesting it may have been used as a burial site, a sacred place for ritual practices, or a marker for celestial alignments. James Moore's meticulous drawing beautifully captures the rugged beauty of the landscape and the mysterious allure of the Kempe Stones. The artist's skillful use of sepia wash creates a sense of depth and texture, transporting the viewer to the rolling hills of County Down and inviting them to ponder the mysteries of this ancient site. Moore's drawing is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Ireland and the fascination that megalithic sites continue to hold for generations. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our historical and natural treasures for future generations to explore and appreciate.
