EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour and ink drawing, titled "Design for Albert Memorial Clock, Belfast," is a masterpiece by the renowned Irish architect and designer, William James Barre (1830-1867). The intricately detailed image showcases Barre's innovative design for the Albert Memorial Clock in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The drawing is rendered on pristine white paper, with the design delicately sketched in ink and brought to life through the application of vibrant watercolour. The clock's ornate design is a testament to Barre's exceptional artistic abilities and his deep understanding of both architectural and ornamental design. The Albert Memorial Clock, located in Belfast's Royal Avenue, was commissioned in 1866 to commemorate Prince Albert, who had passed away earlier that year. Barre's design was selected from a number of submissions, and the clock was completed in 1869. The final structure stands as a grand and intricately detailed tribute to Prince Albert, with its clock face, intricate carvings, and ornate columns. This drawing offers a unique glimpse into the design process behind one of Belfast's most iconic landmarks. The meticulous attention to detail and the harmonious blend of architectural and ornamental elements make this a truly captivating work of art. The drawing also serves as a testament to Barre's talent and his significant contribution to the architectural landscape of Belfast and Ireland as a whole.
