About this space

Art depicts a varied group of male and female figures representing the Arts of Sculpture, Painting, and Architecture. At the center a painter sketches a seated model while an instructor criticizes his work and to the right a seated young woman paints a Greek vase. Architecture is represented by a male figure holding a plan and by Ionic and Corinthian column capitals. A sculptor is shown with various attributes and famous examples of works of sculpture including a figure for the Parthenon and a winged Victory. Below are names of ancient cities notable for their contributions to art: Thebes, Athens, and Rhodes.
