EDITORS COMMENTS
Paul Wayland Bartlett: A Visionary American Sculptor at Work on the US Capitol Pediment, 1916 This evocative photograph captures Paul Wayland Bartlett (1865-1925) in the midst of his artistic creation, as he meticulously chisels away at the pediment for the United States House of Representatives at the US Capitol. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, offers a rare glimpse into the life of this prolific American sculptor during the 1910s. Bartlett, dressed in a simple work shirt and wearing a protective apron, is shown in a full-length portrait, his intense focus and concentration evident as he wields a large chisel and hammer against the stone. The pediment, a significant architectural feature of the Capitol, is visible in the background, with its intricate designs and ornate details beginning to take shape under Bartlett's skilled hands. The photograph, taken at the height of Bartlett's career, is a testament to his dedication and mastery of his craft. Born in New York City, Bartlett studied at the Art Students League and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before embarking on a successful career as a sculptor. His works can be found in numerous public and private collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Gallery of Art. This image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a unique perspective on the life and work of Paul Wayland Bartlett, a visionary artist whose contributions to American art continue to inspire and captivate audiences today.
