Wisdom By lee Oscar Lawrie

Wisdom by Lee Oscar Lawrie
Wisdom, a carved marble relief above the south door of the Senate Chamber, completes a three-part design envisioned by sculptor Lee Lawrie. The series also includes panels titled Courage and Patriotism above the west and east doors. In a 1951 letter to Architect of the Capitol David Lynn, the artist described the symbolism of this panel: “Wisdom is represented by the figure of a woman, from whose head come rays of light. She holds a book symbolizing the experience of the ages, or the Laws. In the other hand she holds a torch which illuminates the sphere representing the earth. The tower on the left is her temple. The stars, earth and clouds suggest that Wisdom is above earthly derivation.”
