Commentary from The Graphic
The interior of the chapel reveals a picture of the richest architectural beauty. The galleries are of polished Irish oak, and the panelling in them displays carvings of the coats of arms of all the Governors of Ireland since the landing of Henry II. There arc a large number of exquisitely-painted windows. On these also the escutcheons of the Lord Lieutenants are portrayed. Over the altar is a magnificent oriel window ; and the painting here, representing an episode in the Saviour's life, is the work of an eminent Dutch master. It was bought in Flanders by Lord Whitworth for 400£, and presented by him to the Chapel.
