Christ On The Cross at Slea Head – Dingle Ireland Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.

This Dingle Ireland canvas print shows Christ on the Cross at Slea Head on the Dingle Peninsula. This shrine was an unexpected surprise during the Slea Head drive on New Year’s day years ago. The white stone in the bright morning light was eye catching on its own. The backdrop of the rocks and the surrounding landscape took it to another level. I searched for background information about this Crucifixion sculpture since my visit but beyond its existence I’ve never found any of the history. I’ve read this roadside shrine referred to as a “Pieta-like Crucifixion scene” as well as the “Calvary of Christ.” I wish I knew more details about it but what I do know from my own eyes is that it is situated at a particularly beautiful and prominent place on the Dingle Peninsula. And I’m sure that many would agree it’s an unforgettable sight on a sunny day.

The sunny skies with the streaks of clouds is also a memorable part of this scene. There’s almost an angelic quality to those clouds don’t you think?

I would love to hear what attracts you to this canvas print of Christ on the Cross in Dingle, Ireland. And if you have any more information about its history, I’d be excited to hear from you as well!
