1. Title: "A Colourful Tribute to Percy French: The Percy French Memorial in Ennis, Co. Clare, Republic of Ireland" 2.. Nestled in the heart of Ennis, County Clare, in the Republic of Ireland, stands a charming memorial dedicated to the beloved Irish artist, Percy French. Known for his distinctive colourful landscapes and humorous songs, French left an indelible mark on Irish culture. The Percy French Memorial, located on the banks of the River Fergus, is a testament to the artist's enduring legacy. The memorial, designed by sculptor John Behan, features a bronze statue of French seated on a bench, with a palette and brushes in hand, as if he is painting the picturesque scenery before him. The memorial is surrounded by lush greenery and colourful flowers, reflecting the vibrant palette that characterized French's artwork. The River Fergus, meandering through the landscape, adds a serene and tranquil atmosphere to the scene. Percy French's connection to Ennis is deep-rooted. He was born in the nearby village of Newtownsandes in 1854 and spent much of his childhood in the area. The town of Ennis holds a special place in his heart, as it was where he studied at the local school and where he later returned to teach. The Percy French Memorial is not only a tribute to the artist but also a celebration of the beauty and charm of County Clare. It invites visitors to pause, reflect, and appreciate the rich cultural heritage that Percy French left behind. Whether you are a fan of his artwork or his music, a visit to the memorial is a must for anyone exploring the Irish countryside. So, take a moment to sit on the bench beside Percy French and let the colours of County Clare inspire you. Let the tranquil beauty of the River Fergus wash over you, and let the memories of Percy French's enduring legacy fill your heart.
