Mary Schenley gifted 300 acres to create Schenley Park, and in 1911 a design competition was held to memorialize her and her amazing contribution. Victor David Brenner, also known for designing the Lincoln penny, won the competition with this sculpture entitled 𝘈 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘡𝘰 π˜•π˜’π˜΅π˜Άπ˜³π˜¦. The sculpture stands outside of the Frick Fine Arts Building and shows a nymph named Sweet Harmony serenading Pan the earth god. The sculpture represented culture’s power to tame nature at the time. ✨ . . . . #H2P #universityofpittsburgh #pittsburgh #schenleypark
