点评:Posting this after reading frustrating reviews saying the statue is painted, the colour needs touching up or that he deserved a bronze statue, like everyone else.
He is sitting on a 35 ton quartz boulder from Wicklow. And “Anyone who has read the ‘Sphynx’ will know how much Oscar adored beautiful stones. So the sculpture is made from exotic materials, such as green nephrite jade from the Yukon for the jacket. White jade from Guatemala for the head and hands, and a rare pink stone called thulite from Norway for the collar and cuffs. The trousers are of blue pearl granite and the shoes and socks are black Indian granite. Shoelaces, buttons and the green carnation are bronze., and he wears a Trinity Old Boys tie, made in coloured glazed porcelain” This quote is from the sculptors website, so if you’d like to find out more about quick google (or your preferred IP) search for Danny Osbourne Oscar Wilde statue should do the trick.
I think it’s very original and unique, like the man himself. Is it worth travelling across the city just to see this? Well, that depends on how much you like sculpture or Oscar a Wilde I guess, but it is in Merrion Square which is a lovely park to visit, across the road from the National Art Gallery and Government Buildings and 5 minutes from the National Library and Archeological Museum and 10 minutes from the side entrance to Trinity with the Long Room and book of Kells.
Wilde himself lived directly opposite and would have looked upon this corner. Spranza Wilde lived there too. WB Yeats and Daniel O’Connell also lived in Merrion Square.
翻译:在阅读了一些令人沮丧的评论后发布了这篇文章,这些评论说雕像被涂漆了,颜色需要修饰,或者他像其他人一样应该得到一座青铜雕像。
他坐在一块来自威克洛的 35 吨石英巨石上。 “任何读过《斯芬克斯》的人都会知道奥斯卡有多么喜爱美丽的宝石。因此,该雕塑采用了奇异的材料制成,例如用于制作夹克的育空地区的绿色软玉。头部和手部采用产自危地马拉的白玉,衣领和袖口采用产自挪威的稀有粉红色宝石,称为苏拉特石。裤子是蓝色珍珠花岗岩,鞋子和袜子是黑色印度花岗岩。鞋带、纽扣和绿色康乃馨都是青铜的。他戴着一条三一老男孩领带,是用彩色釉瓷制成的。”这句话来自雕塑家网站,所以如果你想了解更多有关快速谷歌(或你的首选 IP)搜索丹尼·奥斯本奥斯卡·王尔德雕像应该可以解决问题。
我认为它非常原创和独特,就像他本人一样。是否值得穿越整个城市来看看这个?好吧,我猜这取决于你有多喜欢雕塑或奥斯卡·王尔德,但它位于梅林广场,这是一个值得参观的可爱公园,马路对面就是国家美术馆和政府大楼,距离国家图书馆 5 分钟路程,考古博物馆距离三一学院侧门 10 分钟路程,设有长室和凯尔斯书。
王尔德本人就住在对面,他会看着这个角落。斯普兰萨·王尔德也住在那里。 WB Yeats 和 Daniel O’Connell 也住在梅林广场。
