"Education" (1890), a stained glass window by Louis Comfort Tiffany and Tiffany Glass Co.(late 1885-1892), located in Linsly-Chittenden Hall at Yale University. In the center, it depicts Science (personified by Devotion, Labor, Truth, Research and Intuition) and Religion (personified by Purity, Faith, Hope, Reverence and Inspiration) in harmony, presided over by the central personification of "Light·Love·Life". On the left is Art, attended by Form, Color and Imagination. On the right Music, with Rhythm, Melody, Harmony, Verse, and Voice. Perception and Analysis (hidden behind the left pillars) link Art and Science, while a solitary angel, Law, bridges Religion and Music (hidden behind the right pillars).

Licensing

Note on licensing: the window design itself is public domain because the creator died over 70 years ago. The images are tagged as PD-self because, as a stained glass window that varies considerably in appearance based on complex lighting conditions (and has elements of 3-dimensionality), photographs likely create a new copyright (by me, Sage Ross, in this case) which also needs to be released or licensed.

Public domain I, the copyright holder of this work, release this work into the public domain. This applies worldwide.
In some countries this may not be legally possible; if so:
I grant anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.
