G K Chesterton Inspirational Quote Fairy Tales Fine Art Print Reproduction

"Fairy tales are more than true" --- G. K. Chesterton. This gorgeous art print melds the medieval calligraphy and painting style from the Irish Book of Kells with an inspirational quote from G. K. Chesterton, one of the most prolific writers of the early 20th century. The stylized Celtic dragons at the bottom edge are the perfect finish for Chesterton's thoughts: "Fairy tales are more than true, not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." The Celtic calligraphy script used in this print, Insular majiscule, dates back hundreds of years, to a time when all writing was done with quill and ink. My original artwork was done in true medieval fashion: On genuine goatskin parchment with walnut ink using traditional colors and motifs. This listing is for an archival art print (8 x 10 inches), which is professionally matted in black to fit an 11 x 14 inch frame (frame not included). Your matted art print is shipped with a protective plastic sleeve in a rigid cardboard mailer to prevent any damage during shipping.
