The Librarian's Room
South Wall's Lunette
Like the north wall, the south wall's lunette also illustrates
the evolution of the poet. Instead of two windows, the wall is broken
by two doors with marble arches. The iconography is the same as the
north wall's lunette with the exception of the circle at the lunette's
center. Instead of Pegasus, Pandora is featured opening the box containing
all the ills which plague mankind and only the hope for a blessing.
