Churchyard Kilbroney Moore Rostrevor
EDITORS COMMENTS
Cross in Kilbroney Churchyard, Rostrevor Artist: James Moore (1819-1883) Medium: Watercolour on paper Description: This exquisite watercolour painting by James Moore captures the haunting beauty of the ancient Cross in Kilbroney Churchyard, located in the picturesque village of Rostrevor in County Down, Northern Ireland. The cross, shrouded in moss and ivy, stands tall against the backdrop of the rolling green hills and the clear blue sky. The intricate details of the cross's design are vividly depicted, from the intricate carvings on its surface to the delicate patterns of the foliage that clings to it. The artist's masterful use of watercolour creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the scene and transporting them to this tranquil and historic location. Background: James Moore was a renowned Irish artist, known for his detailed and evocative watercolour paintings of the Irish landscape. This particular work, "Cross in Kilbroney Churchyard, Rostrevor," is a testament to his skill and dedication to capturing the essence of the Irish countryside. The cross in the painting is believed to date back to the early medieval period and is a popular tourist attraction in Rostrevor. The churchyard where it stands is said to be the final resting place of several prominent local figures, including Saint Carthage, who is believed to have founded a monastery in the area in the 6th century. The painting is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Ireland, and a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the beauty of the natural world.
