The Oscar Wilde Monument
Dublín, IRLANDA 2024
The Oscar Wilde Monument, located in Merrion Square in Dublin, is a tribute to the famous Irish writer and playwright. Unveiled in 1997, this sculpture is one of the most unique in the city. The main piece shows Wilde reclining on a large quartz boulder, with a dual facial expression: one half of his face smiles, while the other frowns, symbolizing his complex nature and controversial life. The sculpture is crafted from various materials, including green jade, pink, and blue granite. Beside it, there are two bronze pillars with quotes from the writer, one with a female figure representing his wife, Constance, and the other with a male figure. This monument is not only a tourist attraction but also a place for reflection on Wilde's legacy.
