In 2001 a limited edition release of bronzes was announced of Hart's sculptures made for the Washington National Cathedral. The copyright for these works are jointly held by the Estate of Frederick Hart and the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation.
This work is a cast of the west facade of the Washington National Cathedral, for which Hart won the competition to design in 1971. Breaking with Christian tradition of depicting the Last Judgement on a west facade, the committee preferred the theme of Creation.
