About the Item

Entrance, Reefert Chuch, Ireland Silver gelatin Print, 1989 Signed in pencil lower right on mount (see photo) From: Stone Churches of Ireland, published by Lodima Press, Volume 9 Image size: 9 1/2 x 8 inches Frame size: 22 3/4 x 18 3/4 inches Condition: Excellent Provenance: Andrew Smith Gallery, San Francisco & Santa Fe (label) “. . . stone churches date from around the sixth to seventh centuries . . . in their simplicity of using the bones of the Mother Earth and manner of integrating all within the land, they seemed to echo the pagan past of the megaliths that evoked the mysteries of nature.” — Paul Caponigro Regarding Reefert Church located in Glendalough: “Situated in a grove of trees, this nave-and-chancel church dates from around 1100. Most of the surrounding walls are modern. The name derives from Righ Fearta, the burial place of the kings. The church, built in a simple style, has a granite doorway with sloping jambs and flat lintel and a granite chancel arch. The projecting corbels at each gable carried verge timbers for the roof. East of the church there are two crosses of note, one with an elaborate interlace pattern. On the other side of the Poulanass River, close to Reefert are the remains of another small church.” Wikipedia ” The considerable remains of Reefert Church sit above the tiny River Poulanass, south of the Upper Lake car park. It's a small, plain, 11th-century Romanesque nave-and-chancel church with some reassembled arches and walls. Traditionally, Reefert (literally 'Royal Burial Place') was the burial site of the chiefs of the local O'Toole family. The surrounding graveyard contains a number of rough stone crosses and slabs, most made of shiny mica schist.”
