 THE TEMPLE BAR| Dublin, Ireland | est.1840

500mm x 700mm | gouache & colored pencil

Artwork Story

The Temple Bar boasts the largest collection of whiskey in Dublin, as well as being a Great live Music Venue. It’s beautiful, bright red facade with two painted panels flanking the front door, one of Lady Martha Temple and the other of Sir William Temple. In 2012, the magnificent and colourful paintings had been replaced, so I’ve been researching a substantial number of historical views to recreate them the way they used to be.

The bronze inscription

The bronze inscriptions on the front facade are the results of many different views from various angles which enabled me to re create them the way they actually are.

“Knowledge of the past and of the places of the earth is the ornament and food of the mind of man.”
