The photograph

Letters from the Landscape

I made this from a helicopter, which isn't where I'd normally frame a vertical. The instinct from the air is always to go wide. But directly above the Rock of Cashel, the boundary wall changed my mind. From this angle it forms a lovely V shape, pulling your attention inward toward the complex, and that demanded a portrait frame.

The texture of the limestone outcrop is something else from above. You lose that entirely from ground level, where you're looking up at towers and Gothic windows. From here, you see how the building grows directly out of the rock. The stone of the walls and the stone of the outcrop, they're almost the same thing.

Low western light was catching every crack and fold in the limestone, warming the whole face of the rock while the plains of Tipperary stretched flat in every direction around it. You can understand immediately why the high kings of Munster chose this spot. It overlooks everything for miles.

I had a few seconds to compose as we banked overhead. Helicopters don't wait for you to deliberate. But that V of the wall, the warm light on that remarkable rock face. I'm glad I broke my own habit.

Before you buy

When will it arrive?

You'll get an email with tracking as soon as it ships. If it's for a date, a birthday, an anniversary or a new home, add a note at checkout or email me at info@petercox.ie. I'll do my best to prioritise it and give you a realistic timeline.

What does shipping cost?

I ship worldwide, and every print from Exhibition size up goes free to Ireland, the UK and Europe. Studio prints and books carry a small charge, and the cost for the size you've chosen is shown under the Add to Cart button. The full table is on our Shipping page, and you'll see the exact cost at checkout before you pay. Every parcel is tracked and insured. Within the EU there's no customs duty; outside it, any import duty or tax is the buyer's to pay.

Does the size include the frame?

Yes. A framed size is the whole frame, edge to edge: 3 inches bigger each way than the print inside it. An unframed size is the sheet of paper, including the white border where I sign and title each print by hand. Canvas and Floating Panel sizes are the face of the piece.

  • Unframed Museum-quality Giclée print on archival cotton rag paper. Choose your own frame.

★★★★★Jaw dropping addition to my living room
A few years ago, I came across the Peter Cox Gallery while visiting Ireland and purchased a few of his photos that would fit into my suitcase. What I really wanted was one of his larger prints. Over the last year or more, I visited his website over and over before buying an unframed masterpiece size photo of the Rock of Cashel - vertical The framer's jaw dropped when he unrolled the print and everyone who has come into my home since it was framed is completely blown away by the photograph and the way the light plays with different parts of the photograph. One of those people is a professional artist. As for myself, I sometimes just stare at it for long periods of time and feel as if I am transported back to Cashel. I will continue to watch Peter's website and will likely purchase another photograph. Peter Cox is truly a genius.
