Collection: George Petrie

The man who documented Ireland's ancient heritage before it was lost forever.

George Petrie (1790–1866) was as much historian as artist — widely regarded as the father of Irish archaeology, he devoted his life to recording Ireland's ancient monuments, Celtic crosses, and architectural heritage through meticulous watercolours and drawings. His work is a visual archive of an Ireland time was rapidly erasing.
