Oscar Wilde's tomb : ウィキペディア英語版
Oscar Wilde's tomb

''Oscar Wilde's tomb'' is located in Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris, France. It took nine to ten months to complete by the sculptor Jacob Epstein, with an accompanying plinth by Charles Holden and an inscription carved by Joseph Cribb.
== Commission ==

In 1908 Oscar Wilde's literary executor Robert Ross chose Jacob Epstein for the commission of the tomb at a cost of two thousand pounds, which had been anonymously donated for this purpose. Later, in a publication of letters between Ada Leverson and Wilde in 1930, ''Letters to the Sphinx'', the anonymous donor was revealed to be Helen Carew, with financial assistance from Sydney Schiff aka novelist Stephen Hudson. This was only Epstein's second commission, his first being the sculpture for the British Medical Association building in The Strand; these had been severely criticised for being too sexualised for public consumption. However, Epstein retained some noteworthy supporters within the Wilde circle such as William Rothenstein.
