Alexander Sambugnac

His sculptures were commission for U.S. Post Offices for a Great Depression era program overseen by the U.S. Treasury Department.

His work is also at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, at a cathedral in Vienna, Austria and at the capitol in Havana, Cuba.

[1] Sambugnac's sculptures are at the David W. Dyer Federal Building and United States Courthouse where he crafted two cast-stone lunettes in 1938.

The low-relief panels portray two allegorical figures representing themes of the spirit of justice on the lintels above the leather-covered doors.

Love and Hope shows a young woman playing the lyre, while Wisdom and Courage depicts a seated figure gazing at a tablet of the law.
