EDITORS COMMENTS
Castle and Village of Glenarm (1828) is an exquisite watercolor drawing by the renowned Irish artist, Andrew Nicholl. This work of art, created in the year 1828, offers a glimpse into the picturesque past of Glenarm, a historic village nestled in the heart of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The composition of the drawing is divided into two distinct yet harmoniously blended parts. On the left, the majestic Glenarm Castle stands proudly, its ivy-covered walls and tall, crenellated towers reflecting the grandeur and history of the Scottish-Gaelic McDonnell clan, who have been its inhabitants since the 16th century. The castle's imposing presence is softened by the surrounding lush greenery and the gentle curves of the River Glengarriff that flows nearby. On the right, the quaint village of Glenarm unfurls, with its charming cottages, winding streets, and the quaint St. Patrick's Church. The village, with its whitewashed houses and thatched roofs, appears as if frozen in time, offering a glimpse into the rural life of the early 19th century. The village is encircled by the rolling hills and the verdant landscape, adding to its idyllic charm. Andrew Nicholl, a talented artist, masterfully captures the essence of Glenarm, showcasing its rich history, natural beauty, and the harmony between the castle and the village. This watercolor drawing is an invaluable historical record and a testament to the artistic prowess of the era. It invites us to take a journey back in time and appreciate the charm and allure of Glenarm as it once was.
