*** Rimvers mellan 2010 och 2011 *** ( Bildbeskrivning från Washington D.C. ) The Apotheosis of Washington by Constantino Brumidi is 180 feet above the floor of the rotunda in the eye of the Capital dome. The fresco is 65 feet in diameter and surrounded by 72 five pointed stars. The figure below Washington is Freedom with sword and shield raised. Liberty and Fame are sitting on the rainbow and clouds next to Washington as he rises to the heavens. 13 maidens, representing the original 13 states, complete the central portion of the fresco.
