About the Item
Dramatic landscape and sky at dusk, the famous Celtic Standing Stones over the Moor of Machrie, Scotland, silhouettes rise up over the marsh. Painted in the 1800s by Scottish artist John MacWhirter (1839-1911), signed, oil on canvas and framed.
The dusk skies seem to point to the Standing Stones in oranges, deep blue grey clouds and the long grey blue streaks of cloud. The skies are reflected in the marsh waters just before evening descends. This is an emotional work by MacWhirter, known for idyllic landscapes of forests and fields.
The Standing Stones in Scotland have found new fame in the Outlander series, as the Stone Circle beckons those with the gift to travel and hurtles them back in time.
The spiritual and mystical sentiments of the Standing Stones is well presented here, in that moment after the sun sets before the colors in the sky turn to darkness.
The Stones are presented against the dark and bright skies, as sentinels of another world in ancient Celtic faith.
In overall very good condition, well framed and ready to hang!
