Boston Public Library - The lions sculpted by Louis Saint-Gaudens honor two Massachusetts Civil War volunteer infantries. The marble was left unpolished and raw upon the request of the infantry survivors. The gallery comprises eight morals by French painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, his only mural work outside of France. The panels represent the disciplines you could study at the library- Philosophy, Astronomy, History, Chemistry, Physics, Pastoral Poetry, Dramatic Poetry, and Epic Poetry.
