This is an 18th ft. high, gilded cast bronze sculpture by Paul Manship (1885-1966). Behind in the red granite wall is a quote that says: "Prometheus, Teacher in Every Art, Brought the Fire That Hath Prove to Mortals a Means to Mighty Ends" by Aeschilus (a 6th B.C. Greek dramatist). Located above the lower plaza of the Rockefeller Center, NYC.
In the background is the GE building. Above the entrance is an sculpture by Lee Lewis (1877-1963) named 'Wisdom' (1933) and a quote that says: "Wisdom and Knowledge Shall Be the Stability of Thy Times". This Art-Deco sculpture is a combination of Indiana limestone, cast glass, polychrome painting and gilding on a low-relief panel for a total high of 37 ft.
