EDITORS COMMENTS
Kings Bench Walk by Norman Garstin (1847-1926) Norman Garstin's oil on wood painting, "Kings Bench Walk," captures the essence of a quiet moment in the historic heart of Dublin, Ireland. The scene depicts a serene bench nestled along the picturesque Kings Bench Walk, a narrow pedestrian lane located in the shadow of the Four Courts. The Four Courts, a grand neoclassical building, looms in the background, its imposing columns and intricate carvings a testament to the rich history and legal traditions of the area. The bench, bathed in soft sunlight, invites passersby to pause and take in the beauty of their surroundings. A lone figure, dressed in a turn-of-the-century coat and hat, sits on the bench, lost in thought as he gazes out at the tranquil waters of the River Liffey. The gentle ripples of the water reflect the sunlight, adding a sense of calm to the scene. Garstin masterfully captures the play of light and shadow, the intricate textures of the wood, and the vibrant colors of the scene. The use of oil paints adds depth and richness to the image, bringing the quiet beauty of Kings Bench Walk to life. This painting is a testament to Garstin's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. Norman Garstin was an Irish painter known for his landscapes and genre scenes. He studied at the Royal Academy in London and exhibited his work extensively in both London and Dublin. "Kings Bench Walk" is a prime example of his ability to capture the beauty and charm of the Irish landscape and the people who inhabit it.
