Were the US Founding Fathers a Magnus Group?
Were the US Founding Fathers a Magnus Group?
So.. Edgar Allan Wright recently asked "..What are other possible Magnus' from the past? What am I forgetting? Feel free to speculate."

I bring forth evidence that the US Founding Fathers were a Magnus group, but they were subtly advertising that they are a Magnus Group.
To support this claim.. I present to you the picture called The Apotheosis of Washington. The fresco painted by Greek-Italian artist Constantino Brumidi in 1865 and visible through the oculus of the dome in the rotunda of the United States Capitol Building. And I have highlighted a few attributes-
-George Washington sits as the main focus, with the Goddess Victoria on his left, and the Goddess of Liberty on his right. **One draped in Blue, the other draped in Green
-George Washington is further surrounded by 13 Maidens
-The phrase "E Pluribus Unum" has 13 Letters, and it means **Out of many, One
So not only do we see the repetition of the number 13 throughout the picture. George Washington looks to be with members of both the 13Magnus and the AntiMagnus
I view this as the US Founding Fathers' ways of showing us that yes, they are a Magnus group, and they were not afraid to show off this fact.
What do you think, Agents?

Painted in 1865 by Constantino Brumidi, the Apotheosis of Washington in the eye of the U.S. Capitol Building's Rotunda depicts George Washington rising to the heavens in glory, flanked by female figures representing Liberty and Victory/Fame and surrounded by six groups of figures. The fresco is suspended 180 feet above the Rotunda floor and covers an area of 4,664 square feet.

U.S. Capitol
The Apotheosis of Washington in the eye of the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol was painted in the true fresco technique by Constantino Brumidi in 1865. Brumidi (1805-1880) was born and trained in Rome and had painted in the Vatican and Roman palaces before emigrating to the United States in 1852. A master of creating the illusion of three-dimensional forms and figures on flat walls, Brumidi painted frescoes and murals throughout the Capitol from 1855 until his death.
The Apotheosis of Washington, his most ambitious work at the Capitol Building, was painted in 11 months at the end of the Civil War, soon after the new dome was completed, for $40,000. The figures, up to 15 feet tall, were painted to be intelligible from close up as well as from 180 feet below. Some of the groups and figures were inspired by classical and Renaissance images, especially by those of the Italian master Raphael.
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.)
Six groups of figures line the perimeter of the canopy; the following list begins below the central group and proceeds clockwise:
War, with Armed Freedom and the eagle defeating Tyranny and Kingly Power
Science, with Minerva teaching Benjamin Franklin, Robert Fulton, and Samuel F.B. Morse
Marine, with Neptune holding his trident and Venus holding the transatlantic cable, which was being laid at the time the fresco was painted
Commerce, with Mercury handing a bag of money to Robert Morris, financier of the American Revolution
Mechanics, with Vulcan at the anvil and forge, producing a cannon and a steam engine
Agriculture, with Ceres seated on the McCormick Reaper, accompanied by America in a red liberty cap and Flora picking flowers.
Could George Washington have been the Hank Johnson of his day?
ReplyDeleteMelissa more than likely, George Washington was a warrior before he was a politician
