The Rotunda Canopy represents the Apotheosis of Washington. In the center is Washington, seated in majesty, like Jove on Olympus, with supernal beings attending him. On his right sits Freedom; on his left Victory; and about him float the Thirteen States as aerial figures, their banner inscribed: E Pluribus Unum. Beneath, and encircling the base of the canopy, runs an allegory of the Revolution. The group in line directly below Washington represents the Fall of Tyranny-Freedom with her eagle putting to rout the forces of War, Tyranny, Priestcraft, Discord, Anger and Revenge. Following to the right are depicted in succession: Agriculture (America, Ceres, Flora and Pomona); Mechanics (Vulcan); Commerce (Mercury, with portrait of Alexander Hamilton, and of Robert Morris, signer of the Declaration, financier of the Revolu tion, in the last days of his life imprisoned for debt, and here given enduring fame); Marine (Neptune, and Aphrodite with the Atlantic cable); Arts and Sciences; (Minerva, with portraits of Franklin, Fulton and Morse).
