Murals on the dome of the U.S. Capitol.

American mural: street warbler holding Washington as a virgin prostitute?

The dome of Capitol Hill is one of the famous landmarks in Washington, DC. The exquisite mural "Holy Washington" on the dome is a must-see place for tourists. In the mural, the late American President Washington stands in the center, surrounded by 65,438+03 virgins, who symbolize the 65,438+03 states in the early days of the founding of the United States. However, it has recently been pointed out that these women are actually prostitutes.

This mural was carefully produced by the famous Italian artist Brumidi at that time after 1 1 month, and the US Congress paid him 40,000 US dollars (about 3 1 10,000 Hong Kong dollars). Brumidi arrived in Washington at the age of 50 in 1855, and soon became a famous playboy. In order to write a history book about the US Congress, Belal made a thorough study of Bloomidi. He said that Brumidi frequented bars, restaurants and salons, and the women he met might be the main characters in his paintings.

Belal's research found that at that time, a reporter implicitly mentioned that the female image created by Brumidi had a bad reputation. The women in the murals were probably prostitutes in Washington at that time, and 13 of the virgins were probably drawn according to prostitutes.

Not long ago, a tourist asked this question when he entered Capitol Hill, and the tour guide immediately shouted that it was completely nonsense. However, many people still doubt that Brumidi is a romantic. He has been married three times in his life and has countless girlfriends. At that time, he was really up to no good. He wants politicians in Washington to handle state affairs in front of prostitutes and play a big joke on American politics.
