The Fresco Belt in the Capital Rotunda
Just below the 36 windows Brumidi painted a fresco belt which was designed to give the illusion of a sculpted relief. The scenes trace America's history from its discovery by Columbus to the discovery of gold in California, with emphasis on Spanish explorers and the Revolutionary War
