Virginians celebrated the installation of a new bronze sculpture by StudioEIS in a two day unveiling ceremony on May 3rd and 4th, 2011.
This eight foot bronze sculpture depicts Thomas Jefferson at the age of 36 as governor.
The sculpture was dedicated in a private unveiling ceremony at the Virginia State Capitol and was attended by members of the state legislature. The Jefferson sculpture took nearly a year to complete and was received by Governor Robert F. McDonnell on behalf of the state in a ceremony attended by school children on May 4th.
The sculpture is a fitting tribute to Jefferson who designed the Virginia State Capitol. This piece now sits in a beautiful rotunda at the gateway between the new visitor center and the original capitol building Jefferson completed in 1788. Jefferson’s design was modeled after the Maison Carrée at Nîmes in southern France, an ancient Roman temple.

Visible in this tele-panorama are, from left to right, The Capitol Building (home to the US Senate and the Congress), the foot of the Washington Monument (the obelisk in the foreground surrounded by flags)) , the Library of Congress (with the gold torch on top -- still the largest repository of books in the world), and 'The Castle" of the Smithsonian Institution.
This was taken from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Essentially it is a panorama of one side of the National Mall, taken from the other. I took another long shot of The Capitol dome from the World War II Memorial (almost half the distance) during my last visit.
