The Apotheosis of George Washington Postcard Washington D.C., The Apotheosis of Washington is the fresco painted by Greek Italian artist Constantino Brumidi in 1865 and is visible through the oculus of the dome in the rotunda of the United States Capitol Building in Washington D.C. The fresco is suspended 180 feet above the rotunda floor and covers an area of 4,664 square feet. The dome was completed in 1863 and Brumidi painted it over the course of eleven months at the end of the American Civil War. In the fresco George Washington is draped in purple, worn by generals of the ancient Roman Republic during their triumphs, with a rainbow arch at his feet, by the goddess Victoria, who is draped in green using a horn, to his left and the goddess of Liberty to his right. Liberty wears a red liberty cap, symbolizing emancipation, from a Roman Tradition where slaves being manumitted would be given a felt cap. Forming circle between Liberty and Victory are 13 maidens each with a star above her head representing the original Thirteen Colonies. Several of the maidens have their backs turned to George Washing, said to represent the colonies that had seceded from the Union at the time of painting. Across the circle from George Washington is the banner of E Pluribus Unum, Latin for "out of many one". Photos 1 and 2 show the front and back of the postcard. Postally unused.
