Summary
Description LAW mural photograph.jpg |
English:
Photograph taken of the wall of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's chambers, primarily the part over the doors that lead out toward the Capitol Rotunda. Detail shows a mural by Violet Oakley that, according to our guide, is also something of a word search, along with smaller panels to either side. The primary capital letters of the center piece spell the word LAW, but you can also see the letters O, V, and E painted inside the large L, the letters N and D interior to the large capital A, and the letters I,S,D,O,M along the interior of the large W, thus showing that Divine LAW is composed of LOVE AND WISDOM.
The centerpiece, called
Divine Law
, is 10' x 11'. To the right is
The Octave
, 10' x 4' 6". To the left,
The Spirit of Law
is also 10' x 4' 6". According to "A Sacred Challenge; Violet Oakley and the Pennsylvania Capital Murals," the murals in these chambers were painted between 1917 and 1927.
