Winged Figures of Genius
About this space
At the corners of the ceiling two winged figures of genius flank an emblem showing the traditional symbols of learning, a torch and a book. The figures were modeled by sculptor Philip Martiny (1858–1927). Stars appear in the painted background by the artist Frederic C. Martin (1866–?).
