About This Image
Fastnet Lighthouse At Night – Irish Metal Print by Mark Tisdale.
This Irish metal print features Fastnet Lighthouse at night. Fastnet Lighthouse perches appropriately enough on Fastnet Rock, a small islet that is the most southerly point of Ireland. Fastnet has been dubbed “Ireland’s Teardrop” because it was the last part of Ireland that 19th century immigrants saw of their homeland when sailing to America.
I had seen pictures of this 1891 lighthouse before and honestly thought they were of a fictional location. The sight of Fastnet Lighthouse rising out of the rocks like that looked like a fantasy. So I was surprised when I was researching Irish Lighthouses to discover that Fastnet Lighthouse was real. It’s actually the second light to perch on that rocky islet. The first was lit in 1854. Constructed of cast iron it was soon deemed unsuitable when another lighthouse built in the same fashion was taken down by a strong gale. The light today which has stood for over a century was built from Cornish granite.
As anyone who has checked out my work knows, I love lighthouses and often seek out new subjects. I often depict them in the rain at night, but for some reason when I saw this one, I wanted it shining brightly beneath a starry night sky. It just suited its fairytale appearance to me. Perched on a rock reaching into a starry night sky seemed appropriate to me, what do you think?
The end product is a study in shades of night blue getting more inky higher into the atmosphere. The water is similarly filled with darkness accentuating the water that is reflecting the golden warm light of Fastnet Lighthouse above. On the horizon there’s a bit of clouds that suggests a storm has either passed or may be gathering strength. Whatever the case, the stars rule the sky at the moment over this old Irish lighthouse.

Metal Print – Product Information
Metal prints are a sleek, contemporary choice for showcasing your artwork. With their high-gloss finish and vibrant color reproduction, these prints offer a modern look that will instantly elevate any room.
Each metal print is custom-made to order, printed directly onto a 1/16″ thick sheet of aluminum. The artwork is then mounted on a 3/4″ thick wooden frame that is recessed from the edges of the print, creating the appearance of your artwork floating slightly away from the wall. This unique design gives your print a polished, modern feel with a minimalistic touch, ideal for contemporary spaces.
All metal prints are made with archival-quality materials, ensuring lasting durability and vibrant color that will stand the test of time. The production process takes 5 to 7 business days, and your print will be shipped securely in sturdy packaging.
When ordering, the only decision left to make is choosing the perfect size for your space.
