At least George Washington...unlike fucking jesus...was a real man. Some of the stories, those of Parson Weems - including the cherry tree and silver dollar horseshit - are harmless but suppose someone took The Apotheosis of Washington seriously?
Note, again...just to annoy Drippy... the motif of the dead hero rising to heaven. Looks like that bullshit never went out of style, eh?
Quote:Painted in 1865 by Constantino Brumidi, the Apotheosis of Washington in the eye of the U.S. Capitol Rotunda depicts George Washington rising to the heavens in glory, flanked by female figures representing Liberty and Victory/Fame and surrounded by six groups of figures.
