TheUnited States Capitol building features a centralrotunda below theCapitol dome. Built between 1818 and 1824, the rotunda has been described as theCapitol's "symbolic and physical heart".

The rotunda is connected by corridors leading south to the House of Representatives and north to the Senate chambers. To the immediate south is the semi-circularNational Statuary Hall, which was the House of Representatives chamber until 1857. To the northeast is theOld Senate Chamber, used by the Senate until 1859 and by the Supreme Court until 1935.

The rotunda is 96 feet (29 m) in diameter, rises 48 feet (15 m) to the top of its original walls and 180 feet 3 inches (54.94 m) to the canopy of the dome, and is usually visited daily by thousands of people. The space is a national showcase of art, and includes numerous historical paintings and sculptures. It is also used for ceremonial or public events authorized by concurrent resolution of both houses of congress, including thelying in state of honored dead.

William Thornton, a physician and architect, was the winner of the contest to design the Capitol in 1793. Thornton had first conceived the idea of a central rotunda. However, due to lack of funds or resources, oft-interrupted construction, and theBritish attack on Washington during theWar of 1812, work on the rotunda did not begin until 1818. The rotunda was completed in 1824 underArchitect of the CapitolCharles Bulfinch, as part of a series of new buildings and projects in preparation for the final visit ofMarquis de Lafayette in 1824. The rotunda was designed in theneoclassical style and was intended to evoke the design of thePantheon.^[1]

Thesandstone rotunda walls rise 48 feet (15 m) above the floor. Everything above this, including the Capitol dome, was designed in 1854 byThomas U. Walter, the fourth Architect of the Capitol. Walter had also designed the Capitol's north and south extensions. Work on the dome began in 1856, and in 1859, Walter redesigned the rotunda to consist of an inner and outer dome, with a canopy suspended between them that would be visible through anoculus at the top of the inner dome. In 1862, Walter asked painterConstantino Brumidi to design "a picture 65 feet (20 m) in diameter, painted in fresco, on the concave canopy over the eye of the New Dome of the U.S. Capitol". At this time, Brumidi may have added awatercolor canopy design over Walter's tentative 1859 sketch. The dome was being finished in the middle of theAmerican Civil War and was constructed from fireproofcast iron. During the Civil War, the rotunda was used as amilitary hospital forUnion soldiers. The dome was finally completed in 1866.^[2]

Originally the crypt had an open ceiling into the rotunda. Visitors can still see the holes in the stone circle that marked the rim of the open space in the rotunda floor. Underneath the floor of the crypt lies a tomb that was the intended burial place forGeorge Washington. After a lengthy battle with his estate and the commonwealth of Virginia, however, plans for him to be buried in the crypt were abandoned.^[3]

In January 2013, the Architect of the Capitol announced a four-year, $10 million project to repair and conserve the Capitol Dome's exterior and the Capitol rotunda. The proposal required the stripping of lead paint from the interior of the dome, repair to the ironwork, repainting of the interior of the dome, rehabilitation of the interstitial space between the dome and rotunda, and installation of new lighting in the interstitial space and the rotunda. The dome and rotunda, which were last conserved in 1960, were showing significant signs of rust and disrepair. There was a danger that decorative ironwork could have fallen from the rotunda to the space below, and that weather-related problems could damage the artwork in the rotunda. Without immediate repair, safety netting was installed, temporarily blocking the rotunda's artwork from view.^[4]

Eightniches in the rotunda hold large, framedhistorical paintings. All areoil-on-canvas and measure 12 by 18 feet (3.7 by 5.5 metres). Four of these are scenes from theAmerican Revolution, painted byJohn Trumbull, who was commissioned by Congress to do the work in 1817. These areDeclaration of Independence,Surrender of General Burgoyne,Surrender of Lord Cornwallis, andGeneral George Washington Resigning His Commission. These were placed between 1819 and 1824. Between 1840 and 1855, four more paintings were added. These depicted the exploration and colonization of America and were all done by different artists. These paintings areLanding of Columbus byJohn Vanderlyn,Discovery of the Mississippi byWilliam Henry Powell,Baptism of Pocahontas byJohn Gadsby Chapman, andEmbarkation of the Pilgrims byRobert Walter Weir.^{[citation needed]}

Painting	Artist	Dates	Description	Notes
	John Trumbull	Commissioned 1817, purchased 1819, placed 1826[5]	John Adams,Roger Sherman,Robert R. Livingston,Benjamin Franklin, and the principal author,Thomas Jefferson — members of theCommittee of Five, who drafted the Declaration of Independence, which was presented to theSecond Continental Congress andPresidentJohn Hancock on June 28, 1776[5] atIndependence Hall inPhiladelphia.[5]	The first painting Trumbull completed for the rotunda and probably the most widely recognized, the iconicDeclaration of Independence is somewhat historically inaccurate and anachronistic. Of the 56 signers, 42 are represented. The rest are absent, possibly because they were not present at the adoption of the declaration or had died by the time of Trumbull's painting. Four are included who did not sign, but whom Trumbull found worthy of inclusion:George Clinton,Robert R. Livingston,Thomas Willing, andJohn Dickinson.[6] A reproduction appears on theUnited States two-dollar bill.[7]
		Commissioned 1817, purchased 1822, placed 1826	British soldiers underGeneralJohn Burgoyne surrender after the American victory at theBattle of Saratoga in 1777. The central figure, from theContinental Army, isGeneralHoratio Gates, who refused to accept the traditional sword of surrender that Burgoyne offered. Instead, treating his former foe as a gentleman, General Gates invited General Burgoyne into his tent. The other Americans, shown to the right, are officers serving in the Continental Army.	Trumbull planned this outdoor scene to contrast withDeclaration of Independence (above), displayed beside it on the wall of the U.S. Capitol rotunda.[8] Both paintings show large groups of people, but one is an indoor scene, while the other is an outdoor scene of similar perspective. The battle was a key victory for the Americans, prevented the division ofNew England, and securedFrench military assistance to the Americans.
		commissioned 1817, placed 1820	A combined American-French force led by George Washington, theMarquis de Lafayette, andComte de Rochambeau accept the final surrender of British troops under Lord Cornwallis after the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. American GeneralBenjamin Lincoln is portrayed at the center of the painting riding a white horse, with French officers on the left and Americans on the right, led by Washington on the brown horse. The British were represented by officers, but Lord Cornwallis himself was not present and was represented instead by Charles O'Hara.	The scene here depicts the same event as the "Surrender of Cornwallis" panel of the "Frieze of American History". Trumbull was proud of the fact that he had painted portraits of the French officers while in France and included a smallself-portrait of himself under the American flag on the right side of the painting.[9] As noted above, Washington declined O'Hara's sword because according to the custom of the time it would only be proper for Washington to receive the sword from Cornwallis himself; Major General Lincoln accepted the sword in Washington's place. The surrender led to the cessation of major Revolutionary War hostilities and British recognition of American independence in the1783 Treaty of Paris.
		commissioned 1817, placed 1824	George Washington addressesCongress toresign his commission as commander-in-chief of theContinental Army, on December 23, 1783. Washington is depicted along with twoaides-de-camp, as he addresses the president of the Congress. Also shown in the painting areThomas Mifflin,Elbridge Gerry, and three future U.S. presidents:Thomas Jefferson,James Monroe, andJames Madison. His wife,Martha Washington, and her three grandchildren, are shown watching from the gallery section (balcony area at right), although they were not in fact present at Washington's resignation.[10]	This celebrated incident established a strong tradition ofcivilian control of the military in the United States and the rejection ofmilitary dictatorship in favor ofliberal democracy. The U.S. Congress, at the time, was meeting at theMaryland State House inAnnapolis.
	John Vanderlyn	commissioned 1836/1837, placed 1847	In the foreground,Christopher Columbus raises the royal banner to claim the land for Kingdom of Castile, and he stands bareheaded with his hat at his feet in honor of the sanctity of the event. The captains of the shipsNiña andPinta follow, carrying the banner of theCatholic Monarchs,Isabella I of Castile andFerdinand II of Aragon. The crew displays a range of emotions, and some search for gold in the sand. Nearby, natives watch from behind a tree at the right.[11]	Columbus landed in theWest Indies, onSan Salvador Island (Guanahani), on October 12, 1492.
	William Henry Powell	commissioned 1847, purchased 1855	At the center of the canvas, Spanishnavigator andconquistadorHernando de Soto rides a white horse. De Soto and his troops approach Native Americans in front oftepees, with a chief holding aceremonial pipe. The foreground is filled by weapons and soldiers to represent the devastating battle at Mauvila (orMabila), in which de Soto suffered aPyrrhic victory overChoctaws underTuscaloosa. To the right, amonk prays as a largecrucifix is set into the ground.[12]	Discovery of the Mississippi was the last painting to be commissioned by Congress for the rotunda. De Soto is thought to have become the first European to see theMississippi River in 1541.
	John Gadsby Chapman	commissioned 1837, placed 1840	Dressed in white,Pocahontas kneels, surrounded by family members, including her father,Chief Powhatan, and several Jamestown colonists. Her brother Nantequas turns away from the ceremony. The baptism occurred before her marriage to the tobacco planterJohn Rolfe, who stands behind her.	Pocahontas wasbaptized (under the name "Rebecca") by theAnglican priestAlexander Whitaker inJamestown, Virginia. This event is believed to have taken place in 1613, and the marriage between Rolfe and Pocahontas helped to establish peaceful relations between the Jamestown colonists and the Tidewater tribes.[13]
	Robert Walter Weir	commissioned 1837, placed 1844	ThePilgrims appear on the deck of the shipSpeedwell as they departDelfshaven inSouth Holland on July 22, 1620.William Brewster, holding the Bible, and pastorJohn Robinson leadGovernor Carver,William Bradford,Miles Standish, and their families in prayer. Therainbow, at the left side of the painting, symbolizes hope and divine protection.[14]	The Pilgrims traveled aboard theSpeedwell toSouthampton. There they met additional colonists and transferred to theMayflower.

The Apotheosis of Washington is a largefresco by Greek-ItalianConstantino Brumidi, visible through theoculus of the dome of the rotunda. The fresco depictsGeorge Washington sittingexalted amongst the heavens. It is suspended 180 feet (55 m) above the rotunda floor and covers an area of 4,664 square feet (433.3 m²).^[15][16][17]

TheFrieze of American History is painted to appear as a carved stonebas-relieffrieze but is actually atrompe-l'œil fresco cycle depicting 19 scenes from American history. The "frieze" occupies a band immediately below the 36 windows. Brumidi designed the frieze and prepared a sketch in 1859 but did not begin painting until 1878. Brumidi painted seven and a half scenes. While working onWilliam Penn and the Indians, Brumidi fell off thescaffolding and held on to a rail for 15 minutes until he was rescued. He died a few months later in 1880. After Brumidi's death,Filippo Costaggini was commissioned to complete the eight and a half remaining scenes in Brumidi's sketches. He finished in 1889 and left a 31-foot (9 m) gap due to an error in Brumidi's original design. In 1951,Allyn Cox completed the frieze.^{[citation needed]}

Except for the last three panels named by Allyn Cox, the scenes have no particular titles and many variant titles have been given. The names given here are the names used by the Architect of the Capitol, which uses the names that Brumidi used most frequently in his letters and that were used in Edward Clark and by newspaper articles. The 19 panels are:

Scene	Artist	Year	Description
	Constantino Brumidi	1878	This is the first panel and the only allegorical one, portraying apersonification of America, wearing aliberty cap, with spear and shield in the center, surrounded by other allegorical figures.

An eagle holds an olive branch in the bottom right.

Among the group of eleven statues currently encircling the rotunda against the wall at floor level are seven from theNational Statuary Hall Collection:

• George Washington, in bronze, fromVirginia, byJean Antoine Houdon (copy cast in 1934).
• Andrew Jackson in bronze, fromTennessee, by Belle Kinney Sholz and Leopold F. Sholz, in 1928.
• James Garfield in marble, fromOhio, byCharles Niehaus in 1886.
• Dwight D. Eisenhower in bronze, fromKansas, byJim Brothers in 2003.
• Ronald Reagan in bronze, fromCalifornia, byChas Fagan in 2009.
• Gerald Ford in bronze, fromMichigan, by J. Brett Grill in 2011.^[18]
• Harry S. Truman in bronze, fromMissouri, by Tom Corbin in 2022.^[19]

These seven statues representing the presidents will remain in the rotunda indefinitely or until an act of Congress.

A statue ofGeorge Washington – a copy after French neo-classical sculptorJean-Antoine Houdon's 1790 full-length marble in theVirginia State Capitol – holds a prominent place.William James Hubard created a plaster copy after Houdon, that stood in the Rotunda from the late-1850s to 1934. It is now in theSmithsonian American Art Museum.^[20] The present bronze copy replaced Hubard's plaster copy in 1934.^[21]

James Garfield was the last American president to be born in a log cabin. Sculptor Niehaus returned to America in 1881 and by virtue of being a native Ohioan was commissioned to sculpt a monument to the recently assassinated PresidentJames Garfield, who was also from Ohio.^{[citation needed]}

The bust of his head and shoulders is 36 inches (91 cm) high and stands on a pyramidal Belgian black marble base that is 66 inches (168 cm) high. Because the bust would be such an important and visible work of art, the Joint Committee on the Library decided to have a national competition to select a sculptor.^{[citation needed]}

On December 21, 1982, the Congress passed House Concurrent Resolution 153, which directed the procurement of a marble bust "to serve to memorialize King's contributions on such matters as the historic legislation of the 1960s affecting civil rights and the right to vote". SenatorCharles Mathias, Jr., chairman of theJoint Committee on the Library, the congressional committee overseeing the procurement, said at the unveiling that "Martin Luther King takes his rightful place among the heroes of this nation."^{[citation needed]}

John Woodrow Wilson, the artist, was awarded a $50,000 commission to cast the model in bronze. The bust was unveiled in the Rotunda on January 16, 1986, the fifty-seventh anniversary of King's birth, by his wifeCoretta Scott King, their four children, and Dr. King's sisterChristine King Farris.^[22]

This group portrait monument is known formally as thePortrait Monument to Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony, pioneers of thewomen's suffrage movement in the United States. Their efforts, and the work of later suffrage activists likeAlice Paul, eventually led to the passage of the19th Amendment in 1920. The work was sculpted byAdelaide Johnson (1859–1955) from a 16,000-pound (7,300 kg) block ofmarble inCarrara,Italy. The portraits are copies of the individual busts she carved for the Court of Honor of the Woman's Building at theWorld's Columbian Exposition in 1893. The detailed busts are surrounded by rough-hewn marble at the top of the sculpture. This part of the statue, according to some, is left unfinished representing the unfinished work of women's rights. Contrary to a popular story, the intention was not that it be completed upon the ascension of the first female President — the rough-hewn section is too small to carry a proportional bust. The monument was presented to the Capitol as a gift from the women of the United States by the National Woman's Party and was accepted on behalf of Congress by the Joint Committee on the Library on February 10, 1921. The unveiling ceremony was held in the Rotunda on February 15, 1921, the 101st anniversary of the birth of Susan B. Anthony, and was attended by representatives of over 70 women's organizations. Shortly after its unveiling, however, the statue was moved into the Capitol Crypt. It remained on display there for 75 years, until HCR 216 ordered it moved to the Rotunda. The statue was placed in its current location, in the Rotunda, in May 1997.^[23]

In addition to the National Statuary Hall Collection and the memorial statuary, there are a number of other pieces in the Rotunda. Next to the south entrance, opposite the statue of George Washington, isa bronze statue ofThomas Jefferson with the Declaration of Independence. Sculpted byDavid d'Angers, it was donated byUriah P. Levy and is the only work of art in the Capitol given by a private donor.^[24]

At the west entrance, are marble statues of GeneralUlysses S. Grant and PresidentAbraham Lincoln. TheLincoln statue was a commissioned by Congress and designed byVinnie Ream.The statue of Grant was sculpted byFranklin Simmons and was a gift to Congress by theGrand Army of the Republic.^{[citation needed]}

Lying in state in theCapitol rotunda

The main difference between lying in state and lying in honor is whether the person was an elected official or military officer versus being a private citizen. The designated guard of honor that keeps watch over the casket also differs. When a person lies in state, a guard of honor from theUnited States Armed Forces watches over the casket; when a person lies in honor, theUnited States Capitol Police watches as a civilian guard of honor over the casket.^{[citation needed]}
