Courtney Davis: Celtic Saints

 

This intriguing representation of the lives and deeds of some of the venerable, sacred characters from the distant era of early Christianity sees Courtney Davis at his very best. His ability to stimulate, fascinate and inspire through his superb renditions of Celtic scenes and imagery is now appreciated throughout the world.

 

If you yearn for greater knowledge of, or empathy with, the spirit of this almost forgotten age, The Book of Celtic Saints (with Elaine Gill's authoritative and informative text complementing the illustrations) will supply this, by interpreting the ancient traditions for today's reader. Providing a timely reminder of saintly qualities in these material days, this book reveals eternal ideals through its words and beautiful pictures.

Courtney Davis has done a remarkable thing in presenting Celtic art to us in this manner. It is just what is needed at this time . . . a beautiful contribution to our understanding. I thank him for his vision, artistic skill, painstaking craftsmanship and love of this great and ancient tradition. His work is an inspiration to us all. Sir George Trevelyan
