鷲

William Rush American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 748

ラッシュは19 世紀初頭のフィラデルフィアの活発な美術家コミュニティで活動し、今日アメリカ初の肖像彫刻家、木造彫刻家、金箔師として知られています。この堂々とした金箔の鷲は、1847年までフィラデルフィアの聖ヨハネ福音ルーテル教会の説教壇上に吊るされ、その後1914年まで独立記念館の議会室に設置されました。自由の鐘近くでラッシュによるジョージ・ワシントンの木造彫刻の上に飾られたこの作品は、当初の注文主だった教会の守護聖人のシンボルから、アメリカの愛国心と独立精神の象徴へと意味が変わった作品です。
