Merrion Square Oscar and Constance | Dublin, Ireland
Here we can see Wilde’s green jacket of nephrite jade from Canada, is complimented by red cuffs made of thulite from Norway.
The sculpture is accompanied by two stone pillars which are covered in quotations of Wilde’s writing.
These quotes set out these thoughts, opinions and witticisms on art and life. The quotes were selected by a mixture of poets, public figures and artists who use Wilde’s own words to pay tribute to him.
Placed on top of the pillars with his sayings are two small bronze sculptures, one, we see here, is of a pregnant woman who represents Wilde’s wife Constance and the theme of life, staring accusingly across the path at her husband, while the other is a male torso representing Dionysus and the theme of art.
Wilde, himself, is reclining on his rocky perch, facing towards his childhood home at No. 1 Merrion Square
