THE BRONZE DOORS OF
UNITED STATES CAPITOL.
In a previous article, we gave you a
brief description of our magnificent
Capitol building at Washington for ours
it is, with all its splendor of polished
marble, glowing canvas and almost ori
ental richness of ornamentation.
Imagine yourself standing on the
eastern boundary of the broad esplanade
in front of the Capitol. The velvety
turf of the wide lawn is shaded by a few
stately trees; and one is pointed out to
you as “ffamner's tree," for whose life
the great statesman plead so eloquently
and effectually. The smooth, orange
red walks, winding through the mala
chite green sward, are bordered by
flowering shrubs and plants; that, from
the blossoming crocuses of early April
to the splendor of May roses and the
pale chrysanthemums of late December,
light up' the wide park with bands and
masses of brilliant color.
The longer you gaze at the eastern
facadeiif the noble building, the greater
your ailmiration for the pare simplicity
of its outlines and the combination of
grace and majesty in its proportinns.
Let uti7escend to the entrance of the
north, - * Senate, wing of the Capitol
by a broad flight of polished marble
steps. We cross the pillared portico,
with its 24 Corizthian columns, 38 feet
in height, and a pair of magnificent
bronze doors swing noiselesslyliside for
our entrnce. We are sure to express
our delight at finding the portals to this
great building in perfect keeping with
the imposing grandeur of the exterior;
as well as - in harmony with the ornate
beauty a the interior. These doors
were designed by Thomas Crawford and
modeled" by William H. Bhinehardt.
They were cast and finished in 1865, by
Ames & Co. of Chicopee, Massachusetts.
The eight panels, - four bn a side, repre
sent scenes from the life of Washing
--ton, almost exclusiveiy. Beginning
with the upper right band panel, we
' T ow the "Battle of Banker Hill" in 1775.
The central figure is that of the beloved
physician, brave officer and noble pa
. triot, (len. Warren, just ap he receives
the fatal wound in his heroic breast.
The second panel is at "Monmouth"
in 1778; and the artist has depicted that
moment when (len. Washington deli-1
vers a stern rebuke to Gen. Lee, as he
meets the latter flying from the-advanc
ing foe in disgracefuLretreat.
The third panel is "Yorktown" 1781.
The principal figures are those of Wash
ington and General Alexander Hamil
ton, as the Commander-in-Chief sends
the gallant officer to lead an attack—
with the brave taFayetto—on the die
t ant redoubts of Cornwallis.
- The fourth panel, next the lower left
hand corner, contains "Washington's
oration at Trenton" in 1789. The tri
umphal arch is seen, bearing the in
scription, Ins DEMMER OF THE
MOTHER'S WILL BE THE PROTECTOR OF
THS pAUGHTEBEI." "Virgins fair and
matrons grave" with white-robed chil
dren, are strewing the HERO'S way
with flowers.
The fifth panel represents Washing
ton taking the oath of office as first
President of the United States, April
30, 1789: Tho oath was administered
by Chancellor Livingston, upon the
balcony of the old Federal Hall, which
stood on the site of the present Castom
' House in Wall St. New York.
The sixth and upper left hand panel,
depicts "the Laying of the Corner Stone
of
_the United States Capitol at Waab-
ington."
The two lower panels represent idle
gorical scenes—that on: the right qall
"War" and on the left h is "Peace.' ; '.
The casings of the door are of bronzw
and are quite plainly finished.
A superb set of bronze doors op 0:
into the Rotunda from the eastern pot -I
taco of the central building of the
Capitol.
This magnificent portal is said to Gni
pasa-anything of the kind in existence.
It even ontrivals the famous bronze
gates to the Baptistery at Florence,. exe
cuted by Gluberti in the nuddliof the
fifteenth century or the bronze door to
the Sacristy of _Bt. Mark in Venice, de
signed by Bansovino , about the same
period. -
The doors to the Rotunda were de
signed by Randolph Rogers, an Ameri
can sculptor residing , at Rome, in 1858.
They were cast at the royal foundry at
Munich, Germany, by F. von Muller
and completed in 1861. These doors
are entirely composed of bronze, back
and front, and are remarkable as being
the only doors in the wcrld, thus con
structed. They are seventeen feet
high, nine feet wide and weigh the eubr
mous amount of ten tons. They Cast
830,000 and are among the noblest or
naments of our beautiful Capitol.
"The casing is semicircular at the
top and projects about a foot in front
of leaves of the door. Around the
outer edge of the coning extends an
elaborate border, emblematic of con
quest and navigation. The Key..of the
arch of the casing is ornamented with
a fine head of Columbus. beneath which
is the American Eagle with outspread
wings. Four figures, represen#ng
AsikAfrica Europe and America, stand
at the four corners of the casing, -be
ginning with Asia at the upper left hand
corner.
There are eight square panels in the
two valves of the door. !besides the semi
circular transom panel. Between these
panels are ten heads, five on each door,
representing historians who have writ
ten on Columbus' voyages, from I his
own time down to the present day, elid
ing With Irvine and Prescott. '
On the right and left of the panels
are sixteen statuettes, set in niches, rep
representing the most eminent 'of the
friends and contemporaries of the great
Discoverer. In describing them we
shall begin with the lower left-hand
figure, opposite the first part of the
story told by the door.
The figure is that of Juan Perez,
Prior of the Convent of Laßabids, and
a former confessor of Queen Isabella.
He was a staunch - friend of Columbu s
and it was through his intercessions that
the' adventurous navigator gained an
audienee with the Queen. , _
The next is Cortez, the Conqueror of
Mexico. The third is Don Alonzo de
Ojeda, a distinguished but unfaithful
- follower of Columbus. The top figure
is Amerigo Vespucci, after whom the
. Continent was named. -
At the top of the double row, between
the two leaves of the door, are Pedro
Gonzales de Meidoza, Archbishop , of
Toledo and Grand Cardinal of Spain,
sometimes caUed on account of his Wi
nans° influence, "the third Hing of
Spain," on s the right, and Pope Alex'
under VI on the left
The figures below are Ferdbiandion
the right and Isabella on the left. Be
low them are Oberles VIII, Bing of
France, and Donna Beatriz de Bobs
dills, Marchioness of ?Soya, who was a
favorite lady-in-waiting of the Queen of
Spain. The artist could not find any
likeness of the noble lady and gave her
the features; of Mrs. Rogers, UP wife.
Henry VII of England and John II
of Portugal, form the lowest centre
pair, - the English monarch being on the
right. . '
___
Francisco Pizarro, -the cruel Con
(purer of Peru, fills the topmost niche
on the right.
Below him is Vasco Monezde Balboa,
who, crossing the Isthmur of Darien,
With his followers, discovered the Pacific
Ocean on the 29th of September, 1510.
Next comes Bartholomew Columbus,
brother of the discover, and by him ap
pointed Lieutenant-Governor of the
Indies. He wears the face of Mr. Bog
ers, the artist.
' Martin Alonzo Pinzon stands at the
bottom of the last, row. He was the
captain of the "Pinta," one of the little
aquradron of Columbus, and the first to
see the land of the Western World.—
Eventually he betrayed his friend and
Commander and died of grief and mor
tification.
We now come to the exquisite pictures
in the panels of the door. The work is'
in alto relievo, the figures standing out
boldly from , the surface. An oil paint
ing, or steel engraving could scarcely
tell the story more perfectly.
The lowest left hand panel begins the
history, the transom containing the
central scene.
Panel L Columbus is expounding his
theory of finding the Indies by sailing
due west, to the Council of Salamanca.
Panel EL Weary and discoutaged,
Columbus has sought the Convent of
La Rabida, near lidos. He unfolds his
plans to Juan Perez, who mentions
them to Donna Bobadilla. 'The two es
poused his cause so zealously wits the
Queen,—that she sent for Columbus to
Appear at Court and plead his cause in
person. It was at La Rabida that he first
, •
met Alonzo Pinion, who accompanied
him in his subsequent voyages.
Panel 111 Represents Columbus lay
ing his plans before the King and Queen
of Spain. Isabella leans forward with
eager interest, but Ferdinand holds back
coldly and distrustfully.
Panel IV. This is the_ 'departure from
Palos. The Admiral, with unquestion
ing faith in his own success, irr confiding
his son Diego to the care of the faithful
prior, Juan Perez.
The transom panel extends across the
whole door, is semi-circular in form, and
represents the Admiral and his compan
ions landing at San Salvador. Theban ner of Spain is piondly held aloft by
Columbus. A group of natives crouch
at tne foot of a tree and gaze at the
strange "pale-faces'! with 'wonder and
TEI
Panel V. This brat the top of the
right leaf of the door, and 'represents
the first intercouse between the Indians
and the discoverers. A sailor approaches
with an Indian girl, whom he has cap
tared and bound, and is carrying her on
his shoulders. The Admiral reprimands
him for his cruelty and commands the
instant release of the frightened girl.
Panel VI. Represents the "Triumphal
Entry into Barcelona," where Columbus
is seen on horseback, and is greeted by
the plaudits of the crowd.
Panel VII. Represents the "Wrongs
of Columbus." Bobadilla, having been
seat to . the New World to investigate
the charges ma.do against the Admiral,
sills against him and sent him back to
Spain in chains. The officers of the
ship are filled with indignant pity and
wish to set him free. Columbus is rep
resented at the moment when be refuses
their generous offer; and, holding up
his manacled hands, exclaims:
"No, I will wear them as a memento
of the gratitude of princes!"
Panel VIII. This represents the last
scene in an adventurous lite, the "Death
of Coluinbus," May 20th, 1506, at about
seventy years of age. The picture por
trays the chamber in which he aied.—
The priestly comforter, who enters alike
the palaces oflwealth or the huts of pov
erty, stands by his bedside and adminis
ters the sacred rites of religion. The
dying eyes which have gazed on the
wonders of a New World, were turned
toward the Cross, the precious symbol
of redemption. The weak lips tremu
lously murmur: "Into thy hands, 0
Lord, I commend my spirit," and the
grand, heroic soul passes into the per
fect peace and rest of a blessed eternity.
He was wealthy but penurious, and
this is what he said to the suitor for his
daughter's hand: 'Yes, you can have
her. ?But you must elope with her.
I can't afford the expense of a swell
wedding, and the romance of the elope
mentiwill make Up for the lack of
show, and we'll save $5OO on expenses.
Go it!'. ,
