Costantino Brumidi from the Madonna dell'Archetto to Capitol Building in Washington (manortiz)

Costantino Brumidi from the Mdonna dell'Archetto in Rome to Capitol Building in Washington The cupola of Madonna dell'Archetto was frescoed by Constantino Brumidi (Rome, 1805 – Washington, 1880 ) the same painter who executed the frescoes in in the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. Constantino Brumidi (1805–1880) is best known for the murals he painted in the United States Capitol over a 25-year period, including the "Apotheosis of Washington," the "Frieze of American History" and the walls of the Brumidi Corridors. His artistic vision was based on the wall paintings of ancient Rome and Pompeii and on the classical revivals that occurred in the Renaissance and Baroque periods and in the early 19th-century. Brumidi was born in Rome before Italy was a nation. Beginning at age 13, he studied for 14 years at the Academy of St. Luke and was trained in the full range of painting mediums, including true fresco, and possibly in sculpture. He achieved a mastery of the human figure and learned how to create the appearance of three-dimensional forms on flat surfaces, an effect called trompe l'oeil ("fool the eye"). (...) Beginning in 1855, Brumidi decorated walls and ceilings in the U.S. Capitol Building, first demonstrating his skill with a trial fresco in H-144 (then the House Committee on Agriculture Room, now the House Appropriations Committee Room). He worked with teams of artists to carry out his designs, executing all of the true frescoes himself. His murals combine classical and allegorical subjects with portraits and scenes from American history and tributes to American values and inventions. Brumidi designed and executed murals for the Hall of the House of Representatives (now in H-117), the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs room (S-127), the Senate Military Affairs Committee room (S-128), the Senate Library (S-211, later the post office), the office of the Senate Sergeant at Arms (S-212), the Senate Reception Room (S-213), the President's Room (S-216), other office spaces, and the Senate first-floor corridors (now known as the Brumidi Corridors). Brumidi worked intensively at the U.S. Capitol through the early 1860s and sporadically after 1865, adding murals into the 1870s. His major contributions are the monumental canopy and frieze of the new Capitol Dome. In the canopy over the Rotunda he painted The Apotheosis of Washington in 1865. Brumidi began painting the frieze depicting major events in American history in 1878 but died on February 19, 1880, with the work less than half finished. Filippo Costaggini carried out Brumidi's remaining designs between 1881 and 1889; the entire frieze was not completed until 1953, when Allyn Cox added the last three scenes. https://www.aoc.gov/capitol-hill/arti...
