In purely architectural terms, the Chapel of the Rotunda Hospital is unremarkable: it is a square, galleried, Georgian box. The craftmanship of pews, columns and balustrade though excellent, is representative of the Dublin of the 1750s, the decade in which Dr Bartholomew Mosse built his hospital to the designs of Richard Cassells. Astonishingly, the Palladian calm of the room yields, above the cornice, to a late baroque celebration of maternity. This ceiling by Bartholomew Cramillion reveals sculpture and stuccowork of startling quality. Mosse originally intended painted panels to be put in place however this masterpiece of European plaster work is a triumphant substitute with its attention to detail and ornamentation.
