Ireland stood at the forefront of Westem European artistic culture in antiquity, when great passage graves were built; during the 7th and 8th centuries AD, when the Irish produced masterpieces of metalwork and manuscript illumination; and during the 18th century, an age of classical elegance. The achievements of these periods and others survive largely intact. This survey describes the whole sequence of Irish art and architecture.

A blue-painted shop front in Castlerea. The long ridge of Benbulben Mountain swathed in cloud. Bogland rife with wild flowers. A crescent of deserted sandy beach in Connemara. The classical outlines of Westport House overlooking its shimmering lake. The "autograph tree" at Coole Park, initialled by Yeats and George Bernard Shaw. Heather, gorse, sheep and drystone walls. The Cliffs of Moher dropping dark and sheer down to the seas 100s of feet below. A roadside shrine to the Virgin freshly adorned with flowers. A lone angler casting his line into the River Boyne. The basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway, closely stacked as though by human hand. Gaily painted boats in small harbours. Sunset casting an orange light over Glenveagh Lough with the castle silhouetted on its promontory. All these images are presented and arranged by province - Munster, Leinster, Connacht and Ulster, the four ancient kingdoms of Ireland. Extended captions provide background information on the history, geography, legends, famous people, folklore or local anecdote behind the pictures. --Amazon
