Carlisle Castle Square Open Edition Print
Carlisle Castle Square Open Edition Print
Carlisle Castle square open edition print has been produced from original art by local North East artist Emily Ward. All of Emily's art prints are also available framed.
This art print reimagines Carlisle Castle in a vivid and uplifting style, where history meets modern expression. The fortress, with its strong stone walls and central gatehouse, is painted in rich earthy tones that highlight its enduring presence.
Above, a glowing sky of pinks, oranges, and soft peach shades transforms the scene into something almost magical. In contrast to the castle’s solidity, the foreground is alive with a dazzling display of wildflowers, purples, yellows, blues, and pinks are splashed and scattered in energetic strokes.
The contrast between the sturdy medieval fortress and the playful, colourful foreground gives the scene both power and vibrancy, celebrating Carlisle Castle as a monument of history.

Carlisle Castle
Carlisle Castle, standing in Cumbria close to the English-Scottish border, is a remarkable fortress with more than 900 years of history. Originally built in 1092 by William II, son of William the Conqueror, it has served many roles over the centuries, including royal residence, garrison, and prison. Its location made it a key stronghold during the long conflicts between England and Scotland, particularly throughout the Border Wars.
The castle is distinguished by its imposing stone keep, sturdy medieval walls, and later military additions that reflect its use right up to the 20th century. It is also famously linked to Mary, Queen of Scots, who was held there in 1568. Now under the care of English Heritage, Carlisle Castle offers visitors the chance to step into a turbulent past, exploring its towers, dungeons, and centuries of fascinating history.
