History

A baluster parapet and four sculptural groups are situated above the main cornice. Above the bay on the right is a group representing Art Spreading the Fire of Enlightenment: a woman carrying a torch pours oil into a vessel held steady by a putto with Enlightenment represented by the putto standing on the left. The group standing on the left hand side is made up of a sculptural group of Apollo with two putti riding on a dolphin. There are a group of three muses above both corners.
