***PLEASE NOTE MEASUREMENTS IN THE PRINTED CATALOGUE SHOULD READ -170 x 255mm'***IRISH SCHOOL (19TH CENTURY)A view of the Casino at Marino, set within formal planting, woods beyond, Watercolour, 170 x 255mmlater inscribed in pencil verso, “Temple at Marino, Lord Charlemont’s seat Clontarf, near Dublin, from Miss M. J Durhams’s papers 1865”Whilst the Casino is often depicted in the 18th century it is surprising how sparse is the record of what it looked like in the 19th. In fact the 2nd Earl was an excellent custodian of his fathers legacy until his death in 1863. The 3rd Earl was a lesser figure who sold the Dublin properties and altered the family’s house in county Tyrone into a ludicrous pseudo-chateau. The casino, the finest neo-classical building in Ireland was left to its fate by unsympathetic barbarians and its restoration, admittedly in a woefully degraded landscape, is a modern miracle.
