This statue stands in tribute to Thomas Davis, an Irish writer and nationalist who one of the leaders of the Young Ireland movement. The monument to Thomas Davis has a bronze statue of him atop a plinth and a fountain in front of it. The statue looks like an expressionless alien such is the lack of likeness to the man. The fountain depicts the Heralds of the Four Provinces referencing one of Davis's poems A Nation Again. The Heralds are enclosed within a small circular fountain, The borders of the fountain has relief sculptures of scenes from the Great Famine. The statue is in a prominent location opposite Trinity College London, but is easy to miss because it's in the middle of a busy intersection, partially obscured by trees.

Designed by Edward Delaney and known locally as the ‘peeing angels’, the fountain in memory of Thomas Davis depicts trumpeting Heralds of the Four Provinces proclaiming one of Davis’s best-known poems A Nation Again. The surrounding tablets illustrate harrowing scenes from the Great Famine of the 1840s.

(Translated by Google) In front of the Thomas Davis statue there is a fountain with three statues. The day I went there, I don't know why, foam was forming in the water. Very strange. Otherwise the statue is not very funny. (Original) Na frente das estátua do Thomas Davis tem uma fonte com três estátuas. No dia que fui lá, não sei porque, estava se formando uma espuma na água. Muito estranho. De resto a estátua não tem muita graça.

Prime location for this statue and fountain. Thé neighbours are thé Bank of Ireland and Trinity College. Unfortunately you are surrounded by constant heavy traffic and you cannot get any rest since there are no benches and too much noice.

Statue of an Irish writer and one of the founding members of the young Ireland movement

(Translated by Google) Well-designed statue and combined with fountains as a whole (Original) Хорошо сконструированная статуя и сочетается с фонтанами,как единое целое

La statua e la fontana commemorativa di Thomas Davis si trovano in Dame Street. Gratuita ma per arrivarci è un'impresa, si trovano al centro strada difronte al Trinity College dove fu studente. Thomas Davis fu giornalista, poeta e politico con un'enorme influenza sulla generazione che ha raggiunto l'indipendenza irlandese nel 20° secolo. Realizzata da Edward Delaney nel 1966. La fontana ha quattro strane e curiose figure in bronzo che soffiano attraverso le trombe, niente acqua presente solo foglie secche. Dovrebbero rappresentare le quattro province dell'Irlanda, i pannelli invece mostrano scene della carestia irlandese insieme a scene della poesia di Davis. Cosa ha subito colto il mio sguardo sono state appunto queste strane sagome.

Nice monument and fountain. Too bad it's not placed on a larger square or park. At least there should be some benches around.

Niice

Beautiful 🥰
