Figural group sculptures. Tue 16.

the Opéra (Palais Garnier)
has a gilded figural group sculpture at each end of the top of the façade.

They were both designed by Charles Gumery and are made of gilt copper
electrotype. The piece on the left is called L'Harmonie (Harmony) and the
other is titled La Poésie (Poetry). They both stand about 7•5 m (25 ft.) tall.
