Barbican Gates, Antrim Castle canvas art print has been created by artist Emily Ward from her original artwork. All canvas prints are hand finished and signed by Emily.
Emily’s art canvas print of the Barbican Gates at Antrim Castle presents the historic entrance in a vibrant and uplifting style. The sky is softly blended with warm tones of pale yellow and gentle blue, creating a glowing, almost sunlit backdrop.
In the foreground, a dense field of stylised flowers bursts with pinks, purples, blues, and yellows, painted in delicate dots and stems that add texture.
These lively colours contrast beautifully with the solid, earthy browns of the stone gates. The gates themselves feature two rounded towers and a central arched entrance, with a bold red door that stands out strikingly against the neutral stone. The combination of bright, playful colours and the sturdy, historic structure creates a balanced image that feels both lively and timeless on this art canvas print.

Barbican Gates, Antrim Castle
The Barbican Gates at Antrim Castle Gardens
are among the most striking surviving features of the historic estate in Antrim. Dating from the 17th century, the fortified stone gateway once formed part of the defensive entrance to Antrim Castle, the ancestral home of the Massereene family.
Built in a classic barbican style, with thick masonry walls and an arched carriageway, the structure was designed both to impress visitors and to protect the castle beyond. Although the castle itself was largely destroyed by fire in 1922, the Barbican Gates remain beautifully preserved, standing today as a dramatic architectural reminder of the estate’s former grandeur and offering visitors a tangible link to Antrim’s early modern history.
