Children at the Tower. George Bernard O'Neill (Irish, 1828-1917). Oil on canvas.The Tower of London had an enduring reputation as a place of torture and death, popularised by 16th-century religious propagandists and 19th-century writers. O’Neill presents a different interpretation, as the children and their dog scrutinize a kindly guard reading a book. Hardly a place of terror. -- source link
