"Na Scealaga" is a print depicting the world famous Skellig Islands off the coast of Kerry, in the South West of Ireland. Na Scealaga is the Irish language version of The Skelligs.
The Skelligs are two small, steep, and rocky islands lying about 13 km west of Bolus Head on the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. The larger of the two is Skellig Michael (also known as Great Skellig) and, together with Little Skellig, are at the centre of a 364 hectares (900 acres) Important Bird Area established by BirdWatch Ireland in 2000.[2] Skellig Michael is also famous for an early Christian monastery that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This print was created as an aquatint plate on copper, and was combined with a Chine Colle backing on Chinese Rice Paper.
