Paul Wayland Bartlett Marble 1916 Pediment over the east entrance to the House wing of the U.S. Capitol The sculptural pediment over the House entrance on the U.S. Capitol's east front is called Apotheosis of Democracy. "Peace Protecting Genius," an allegorical group consisting of two figures, fills the center of the pediment. An armed female figure representing Peace stands erect, draped in a mantle that almost completely hides her breastplate and coat of mail. Her left arm rests on her buckler, which is supported by the altar at her side. In the background is the olive tree of peace. Her right arm is extended in a gesture of protection over the youthful winged figure of Genius, who nestles confidently at her feet and holds in his right hand a torch symbolizing immortality.
