Summary

[edit]
Description

"Garfield Takes the Oath of Office", a mural in the right antechamber of the foyer at the Garfield Monument in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. The monument is dedicated to the memory of President James A. Garfield, who was assassinated in 1881 by crazed office-seeker Charles Guiteau in Washington, D.C.

The foyer and its two antechambers were undecorated when the memorial was completed in 1890. In 1952, the Garfield Monument Association hired four local artists -- Paul Riba, John Teyral, Marco de Marco, and Michael Sarisky -- to add paintings to the lunettes in the west wall of the foyer.

Sarinsky painted "Garfield Takes the Oath", which depicts the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Morrison Waite, administering the presidential oath of office to Garfield.

The left antechamber's mural is "The Assassination of Garfield" by de Marco. Over the door leading to the memorial hall is a depiction by Riba of the four member of the Garfield Monument Fund Committee. In the lunette above Riba's mural is a portrait of Garfield by Teyral.
