EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a detail from Henry Oliver Walker's mural, "Miltons Comus," located in the Library of Congress' Thomas Jefferson Building in Washington D.C., USA. Painted in 1920, this mural is part of the Poetry Series, which adorns the walls of the building's magnificent Main Reading Room. John Milton's epic poem "Comus," published in 1634, is a masque that explores the themes of temptation, virtue, and the power of poetry. In this mural, Walker depicts the moment when the Lady, representing virtue, sings to the young Milton, who listens intently. The ornate and symbolic artwork reflects the rich literary heritage of the Library of Congress and the enduring influence of Milton's work. The Thomas Jefferson Building, completed in 1897, is a National Historic Landmark and serves as the home for the Library of Congress' rare book and early printed materials collections. The building's architecture is a fusion of classical Greek and Roman styles, making it a significant historical site in the United States. Henry Oliver Walker (1843-1929) was an American painter and muralist, known for his decorative works in public buildings. His murals in the Library of Congress are a testament to his artistic talent and the importance of poetry in American culture. This image invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty and history that can be found within the hallowed halls of the Library of Congress.
