Ag Crú na Gréine, Bronze sculpture in Wolfe Tone Park, Dublin, Ireland.
This life-sized bronze sculpture depicts a cow in a reclining position, appearing to enjoy the warmth of sunlight in a moment of peaceful leisure.
Created by Jackie McKenna in 2003, the sculpture was originally commissioned by AXA Insurance and became a beloved feature of Dublin's public art collection.
The Irish title 'Ag Crú na Gréine' translates to 'Enjoying the Sun,' reflecting Ireland's deep connection to rural life and agricultural traditions within urban spaces.
The sculpture has been relocated from its original position in Wolfe Tone Park to Wood Quay as part of Dublin's ongoing public art management initiatives.
Children particularly enjoyed climbing on this interactive sculpture, making it both an artistic landmark and a popular playground feature for families visiting the area.
