Pittsburgh or Rome?

View this post on Instagram

Last night @chelsea.succop and I attended an artist lecture in Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Applied Design (College of Fine Arts). I love discovering what the interior of Pittsburgh’s historic buildings look like. Pictures do not do this interior justice, so I only included one of the ceiling in order to peak your curiosity to move you to go see this building for yourself. The College of Fine Arts was designed by famed architect Henry Hornbostel, who is known for a large number of the city’s best known buildings, from the City-County Building to Soldiers and Sailors to Rodef Shalom. The building was completed in 1916. The lobby’s ceiling depicts St. Peter’s in Rome surrounded by Bramante, Michelangelo, Sangallo, and Raphael (all of whom who were involved in the design of the church). / / Sources: 1923 G. M.
