Shireen by Irish Artist Frederic William Burton Art Print

Shireen – Frederic William Burton

Bring timeless beauty and romance into your home with this print of Shireen, a masterpiece by renowned Irish artist Sir Frederic William Burton RHA.

Shireen, a seventh-century Persian noblewoman and queen, was much more than a royal consort—she was a symbol of resilience, grace, and unwavering devotion. As the Christian wife of King Khosrow II, she followed him into exile during a time of political upheaval, only to return by his side and shape history. Celebrated in Persian literature as the embodiment of true love and loyalty, Shireen's story transcends borders and centuries.

Sir Frederic William Burton (1816–1900), born in County Wicklow and raised in County Clare, was one of Ireland's most accomplished painters. Best known for his painting The Meeting on the Turret Stairs, Burton brings the same depth and tenderness to Shireen, blending Irish artistic tradition with global inspiration.
