Description
Lantern slide of a stucco ceiling in the large drawing room of the St Stephen's Green Club, Dublin. Originally labelled 'D3 45' with title 'St Stephen's Green Club'. The 'club' is currently referred to as the St Stephen's Green Hibernian Club, founded in 1840. The building itself was built c. 1756 for the Rev. Cutts Harman, Dean of Waterford. The stucco work which covers the interior of the building has been attributed to Filippo Lafranchini in the late 1750's. The slide illustrates a partial view of the Armed Minerva and Attributes ceiling which is in the large drawing room of the club. There are many motifs included in this ceiling along with floral decor, rocaille masks and various stratments of stylised monsters. Th seasons and elements are also represented by small putti, which can be seen in the selected slide.
