These Ancient Isles

Tír na Ríthe is na Queens

“These Ancient Isles, Tír na Ríthe is na Queens” is a richly evocative work by Stephen, part of his collection of aluminium artworks. This piece is a limited edition of just 95 and printed on brushed aluminium, it is both contemporary in form and timeless in theme.

The sub-title — is a lyrical blend of Irish and English, "Tír na Ríthe is na Queens" literally meaning “Land of Kings and Queens” — gesturing to the layered and often complex history shared by these islands. From the mythical Hill of Tara to the White Cliffs of Dover, and even the green fields of France, this piece captures every county in Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales. Each corner is acknowledged, forming a poetic cartography that celebrates both distinct identities and shared heritage.

The luminous metal surface brings texture and light into play, enhancing the artwork’s sense of movement and myth. More than a map, it is a visual journey — a tribute to land, legend, and the intertwined stories of the ancient isles.

“These Ancient Isles, Tír na Ríthe is na Queens” is available in Portrait or Square format.

These stunning metal pieces are available unframed or framed. But we recommend our in house framing service, the 'Scoop' Frame for These Ancient Isles is probably best suited to this piece, but it's your choice.
