    Why just have 1 or 2 kings or queens when you can have 12 or 13 Presidents instead! Just look at the Rotunda at the Capitol Dome! Soon he/she will be coming to claim to be g-d like!

    In the central group of the fresco, Brumidi depicted George Washington rising to the heavens in glory, flanked by female figures representing Liberty and Victory/Fame. A rainbow arches at his feet, and thirteen maidens symbolizing the original states flank the three central figures. (The word "apotheosis" in the title means literally the raising of a person to the rank of a god, or the glorification of a person as an ideal; George Washington was honored as a national icon in the nineteenth century.)
