I'd show Eugene Goodman's favorite art today, but I have no idea what that is. To celebrate Art Thursday, here is some art from the U.S. Capitol.
Washington 1800
by Allyn Cox
Architect Thomas U. Walter served at the U.S. Capitol from 1851 to 1865; he constructed the House and Senate wing extensions and the present dome.

In this mural Walter (center, in dark coat and top hat) shows his dome design to President Abraham Lincoln.
