| Symmetry, shadows, lights and lines surround and envelope the marble sculpture of George Washington -- a la Roman god version. The scene in the rotunda of the State House is seemingly fitting for the commissioned statue that depicts the country's first president scripting his farewell address as commander-in-chief. According to a plaque next to the sculpture, the work was fashioned in 1970 by Italian sculptor Romano Vio, using a cast of the original statue that was destroyed in an 1831 fire. | ||
