Recumbent figure of
Gen. Robert E. Lee, Lexington, Va.
The
recumbent figure of Gen. Robert E. Lee is one of the most impressive and
sublime of all the world's memorial marbles. It is the marvelous
conception of a Virgina Sculptor, Edward Virginius Valentine, and was the
result of many months of painstaking care by an imspired chisel in moulding
the figure from life. This statue now rests over the mausoleum of General
Lee in the chapel on the grounds of Washington and Lee University, at Lexington,
Va. On account of its historical intrest and artistic beauty it attracts
thousands of visitors every year. |
