The 93-year-old mural on the ceiling of the 92nd Street Y, recently restored after decades of wear and tear, will be unveiled this month, as part of a $200 million pre-sesquicentennial renovation.
In 1905, at age seventeen, Vincent Maragliotti immigrated to the United States from Palermo, Sicily, to study art and architecture in Manhattan; he ended up painting not just in his new country butit. In the decades that followed, Maragliotti painted murals in hotels , in theatres , in state capitols , in museums , and, in 1930, on the ceiling of a room in the newly built home of the Young Men’s Hebrew Association, later known as the 92nd Street Y.
“One of my favorites is Creation, with the rising sun over here, with the water and earth,” Lovejoy said, wielding a laser pointer. “Notice that the water is very Art Deco-y.” She zapped elsewhere. “The menorah, the wheat sheaves—really important in Old Testament history.”
