Architecture! A pitched roof was put in place of the leaking flat one, with top lighting; that originally had green glass. The hammer beam roof structure by Deane and Woodward is supported on carved stone corbels, carved by the O’Shea brothers from Kilkenny. The entire ceiling was hand painted by John Hungerford Pollen (1820-1902), then Professor of Fine Arts at Newman College, Dublin, using a combination of motifs ranging from the quasi-medieval to the pre-Raphaelite, with interlace, gilded animal and bird heads on the cross beam. https://kilkennycastle.ie/the-picture-gallery/ by A Mile of Sky on 02.04.2022 | #art #kunst #artspots
