About This Image

Dún Aonghasa – Prehistoric Hill Fort Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.

This prehistoric hill fort canvas print features a panoramic view of Dún Aonghasa on the Aran Islands. This amazing structure is still only partially understood. There’s no written record explaining why it was built or even who built it. The theories are predictably all over the place. There are several ruined forts like this on the Aran Islands. Some people have theorized that we are witnessing a people that were pushed to the edge of their world seeking safety from unknown forces. There are others who think that Dún Aonghasa had a ceremonial purpose. Clinging as it does to the face of a cliff, there’s a raised platform inside that stands at the edge. There’s a line of thought that ancient people may have considered this place sacred, a sort of junction between worlds. Standing there, I can only say I lean a little more towards the sacred space but I’ll freely admit that both versions are somewhat romantic attempts at understanding the intentions of long ago people.

Whatever the purpose of the prehistoric hill for featured in this panoramic canvas print, there’s no denying the amazing landscape it inhabits. The rocky and windswept Aran Islands are simply gorgeous and inspiring. As a tourist I loved seeing the sights, and as an artist I found the vistas captivating and worth capturing.

What caught your attention in this Dún Aonghasa canvas print? Have you been to the Aran Islands perhaps? Or are you simply a fan of all things old and mysterious?

Canvas Print – Product Information

Stretched canvas prints are a timeless way to enhance your home or office decor. Whether your style is traditional or modern, canvas art offers a versatile and sophisticated look that complements any space.

Each canvas print is custom-made to order, printed on an acid-free poly/cotton blend canvas using archival inks. This ensures your artwork will last a lifetime, retaining its vibrant colors without fading or losing detail.

When placing your order, you’ll have the option to choose between glossy or matte finishes. The glossy finish adds a subtle sheen, making colors appear more vivid, while the matte finish offers a softer look with reduced glare, making it ideal for brightly lit spaces. Let the natural light in your room guide your choice.

You can also select from three wrap styles for your canvas print:

  • Mirrored wrap: The image extends around the sides of the canvas, preserving the integrity of the original artwork. This is the most popular and versatile option.
  • Black wrap: A solid black color on the sides of the canvas.
  • White wrap: A clean white color on the sides of the canvas.

A preview of each wrap style is available for you to view when selecting your option.

Once printed, your canvas is carefully stretched over a sturdy wooden frame made of 1.5″ x 1.5″ stretcher bars. The entire production process takes 5 to 7 business days. Your canvas print will be shipped in secure packaging with a hanging wire attached and all necessary hardware included, making it a convenient, ready-to-hang artwork.
