"That is not my lord's wish, madam," said Furio, not daring to look full at the duchess, and keeping his eyes fixed on the ground. "The duke fears that even now the people murmur that an heir of base origin shall grow up to rule over them. And he is forced to study the will of his people. So he has sent me to take away the babes, and dispose of them according to his royal orders."
However, this is Aitken, not Mullgardt. The allegories of the group are detailed in the chapter on Fountains. The Court of the Seasons A charming bit of Italian Renaissance Its quiet simplicity The alcove Fountains of the Seasons, by Furio Piccirilli Milton Bancroft's Murals The forecourt, with Evelyn Longman's Fountain of Ceres Inscriptions.
In detail Bitter explained the situation in San Francisco and outlined his ideas of what ought to be done. Already Henry Bacon had sent in his design for his Court of the Four Seasons and sculptors were set to work on its ornamentation, Albert Jaegers, Furio Piccirilli, Miss Evelyn Beatrice Longman and August Jaegers, a time limit being made for the turning in of their plans.
The muscles are all lax the head is drooping, the arms are closing in around the face, the wings are folding, the knees are bending and she too will soon sink to slumber with the world in her arms. What a fine contrast of feeling between the tense young "Sun" and relaxed "Descending Night." Winter Furio Piccirilli, Sculptor Naked Winter stands before you.
Here is no elusive mysticism, no obscure symbolism to be dug out with the help of guidebooks, like a hard lesson. The treasures of the Seasons are on the surface, glowing in the face of all. The Seasons are sheltered in the four alcoves, distinguished from each other only by the fountain groups of Furio Piccirilli and the murals by H. Milton Bancroft.
Young Mother with Child by Furio Piccirilli. 8. Idyl by Olga Popoff Muller. 13. An Outcast by Attilio Piccirilli. 14. Before the doorway is to be placed The Pioneer Mother Monument by Charles Grafly. About the rotunda are: 1. Lincoln by Daniel Chester French, a dignified portrayal that cannot be justly judged from the plaster model here exhibited. 4.
The resolution to which he came was so cruel, that we can scarcely believe he could have loved Griselda, and had the heart to attempt to carry out his design. He took into his counsel only an old servant named Furio, and to him he gave the execution of his plan. One day Griselda sat in her chamber, caressing and playing with her two babes.
Within the sheltered niches are the fountains of the four seasons, where the water, rose-tinted by day and a luminous green by night, slips softly and musically over three broadening semicircular terraces to the cool, green pool beneath. The sculptured groups, surmounting the terraced fountains, are by Furio Piccirilli of New York.
But when Furio began to take up the babes, the boy from his nest among his cradle pillows, the girl from her soft refuge in the mother's bosom, then the sorrow of Griselda would have melted the tough flint to tears.
The groups are by Furio Piccirilli. The Fountain of Ceres is in the north extension of the court, between the Palace of Food Products and the Palace of Agriculture. The surmounting figure is of Ceres, Greek goddess of the fields and especially of corn. The bas-relief frieze represents a group of dancers, suggestive of the seasonal festivals of the Greeks.
