독수리

William Rush American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 748

러시는 19세기 초반 필라델피아의 활기찬 장인 공동체에서 선도적인 목각사이자 도금공으로서뿐만 아니라 미국 최초 초상 조각가 중 한 명으로 오늘날 알려져 있습니다. 이 도금된 대형 독수리는 1847년까지 필라델피아 성요한 복음주의 루터 교회에 있는 설교단 위에 걸려 있었습니다. 그후 1914년까지 독립 기념관 회의실에 설치되었습니다. 자유의 종 근처, 러시의 조지 워싱턴 나무 조각상 위에 있는 이 조각상은 파송 교회 창시자의 상징물에서 미국 애국심및 독립의 상으로 변하게 되었습니다.
