George Washington depicted as a god

The inside of the rotunda of the Capitol Building contains a painted fresco called the Apotheosis of Washington. Painted in 1865 by Constantino Brumidi, this artist previously worked at the Vatican. Some theorists believe it shows George Washington, draped in regal purple robes, becoming a god.
