The jury’s out on whether Mr. Wilde would approve of the slightly bawdy statue commemorating him in Merrion Square. Perched on a rock in the park with a green carnation in his lapel (an historic clue to his homosexuality), the dapper writer’s gaze is split between the feminine figure of his pregnant wife on one side, a muscular male torso on the other, and his former home across the street. Sculptor Danny Osborne used Wilde’s grandson as his model.
