Artist: Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848–1907)
This memorial fountain celebrates Charity, who holds an overflowing cornucopia, and features a quotation from Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice, underscoring the quality of mercy. Saint-Gaudens was the most influential sculptor in America at the turn of the century. Magee owned the property at Forbes Avenue and Halkett Street, which he gave to create a hospital, today’s Magee-Womens Hospital.
