Genius of Fine Arts

The relief ā€œGenius lumensā€ is an allegorical scene in which a female figure, busy drawing, is an incarnation of art, where the guardian spirit (or genio) in the form of a boy pouring oil in the lamp is the custodian of art busy bringing inspiration and the light of wisdom. ā€œGenio lumenā€ in Latin means something along the lines of ā€œFrom Genius comes Light,ā€ with wisdom symbolized by the owl. The woman is shown tired with a lowered head, lacking inspiration. Thus, this scene represents the moment in which a thought is born and begins seeking the form in which it is to be expressed.
