The Rotunda of Fine Arts, the temple of Sculpture, is one of the most interesting architecturalfeatures of the Exposition. It is the culminating beauty of themarvelous colonnade of Fine Arts Palace, its chief distinction. Withinare some of the treasures of the exhibit sculpture. Under the archingdome are Robert Reid's mural paintings described in a later place. TheWeeping Figures on top of the colonnade itself are also by Mr. Ellerhusen. They express the humility that ennobles the true artistic...spirit and distinguishes it from the spurious. Instead of theself-satisfied Triumph or Victory that might be expected to crown thislast of the Exposition palaces, these represent the spirit of Artweeping at the impossibility of achieving her dreams. Priestess of CultureWithin the Fine Arts Rotunda High on the decorative columns that mark the great arches within thebeautiful Rotunda of Fine Arts, stand, repeated, the peaceful, dignifiedand serene "Priestess of Culture, " by Herbert Adams, an angelic figure, modeled with the control and calm that fittingly express the mission ofculture upon the earth.
