Detail in The Capitol Building (Godspeed)
The former Senate chamber, now used for occasional committee meetings, contains paintings rather than statuary. These pictures depict two of the most important events in the history of the Commonwealth and of the nation. This particular painting (a small detail), completed in 1949 by Griffith Bailey Coale, represents the establishment of the first permanent English settlement in America. It shows three ships, the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery, bringing the first settlers to Virginia in May 1607.
