Irish Landscape Art Prints — Bringing the Wild Atlantic Way Home
Share
There is a particular quality of light on the west coast of Ireland that is almost impossible to describe. It shifts in minutes — from silver to gold to a bruised, stormy grey — and it has been drawing artists to the Wild Atlantic Way for centuries.
These Irish landscape art prints are my attempt to hold that light still, just for a moment.
What makes a great Irish landscape print?
Not all art prints are created equal. When you're choosing an Irish landscape print for your home, a few things matter:
- The original artwork. Every print in my collection begins as an original oil painting — painted by hand, on location or from life studies. The print is a faithful reproduction of that original, not a digital illustration.
- The paper. I print exclusively on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308g archival paper — the same paper used by galleries and museums. It holds colour beautifully and is designed to last for generations without fading.
- The subject. Ireland has no shortage of iconic landscapes, but the places that move me most are the ones that feel wild and unhurried — the Cliffs of Moher at dusk, the boglands at dawn, the narrow streets of Galway's Latin Quarter.
The collection
Each print in the Marie McDwyer collection captures a specific place and mood across Ireland's most beloved landscapes:
- Cliffs of Moher — Giclée Print 24" x 16" — Rising over 200 metres above the Atlantic, the Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most dramatic landscapes. A large, statement print that commands any wall.
- Cliffs of Moher — Giclée Print 20" x 13¾" — The same iconic view in a more compact size, perfect as a gift or for a smaller space.
- Darkness into Light — Giclée Print 30¾" x 17" — The Irish bogland at dawn. A bold, atmospheric piece that works beautifully as a large wall print.
- Darkness into Light — Giclée Print 22" x 12" — A smaller version of this striking bogland scene, ideal for a desk or shelf.
- Tigh Neachtain & Thomas Dillon's, Latin Quarter Galway — The iconic pub on the corner of Cross Street, painted in the warm light of a Galway afternoon. A love letter to the Latin Quarter.
- Framed Mini Giclée — Tigh Neachtain — A beautifully framed double-mount mini print of the Tigh Neachtain pub. Ready to display straight from the box.
- Blackrock Diving Tower, Salthill, Galway — One of Galway's most beloved landmarks, captured in the golden light of a summer evening.
- Tom Crean — Irish Antarctic Explorer — A tribute to the legendary Kerry man who survived three Antarctic expeditions. A unique and meaningful piece of Irish history.
- The Fox — Giclée Print — A striking A3 print of an Irish fox, full of character and warmth.
Irish art prints as gifts
A giclée print of an Irish landscape makes a genuinely meaningful gift — for someone who has visited Ireland and wants to bring a piece of it home, for the Irish diaspora, or for anyone who simply loves beautiful landscape art. Each print ships rolled in protective packaging, directly from Ireland.
Original paintings
If you're looking for something truly one of a kind, I also paint original oil paintings — each a unique, framed work that will never be reproduced. Enquire about originals here.
