GREYCELL #33

Designed by Erik Lindberg, X represents Nature in the form of a Goddess resembling "Isis", emerging from the clouds and holding in her arms a cornucopia. The veil which covers her cold and austere face is held up by the Genius of _______.  The inscribed  words are taken from Virgil's "Aeneid" and it reads "Inventas vitam juvat excoluisse per artes" meaning "And they who bettered life on earth by their newly found mastery." What is X?
