this makes Constantino Brumidi worthy of a commemo-
rative stamp; 
Whereas it has been estimated that approximately 2,000,000 
people saw Constantino Brumidi’s most famous work of 
art, ‘‘The Apotheosis of Washington’’, in the Rotunda of 
the Capitol last year; 
Whereas on July 11, 2012, the Congressional Gold Medal 
was presented in the Capitol, in a ceremony attended by 
the House and Senate leadership and many Members of 
Congress; 
Whereas on July 26, 1805, Constantino Brumidi was born in 
Rome, Italy, of an Italian mother and a Greek father who 
inspired him with a love of liberty; 
Whereas Constantino Brumidi’s Greek ancestry stirred his 
passion for liberty and citizenship, and his Italian herit-
age provided the art styles of the Renaissance and the 
Baroque periods which influenced the artwork of the 
United States Capitol; 
Whereas Constantino Brumidi became a citizen of the United 
States as soon as he was able, embracing its history, val-
ues, and ideals; 
Whereas in 1865, at the end of the Civil War, Constantino 
Brumidi completed in just 11 months his masterpiece, 
‘‘The Apotheosis of Washington’’, in the eye of the Cap-
itol dome; 
Whereas in 1871, Constantino Brumidi created the first trib-
ute to an African-American in the Capitol when he placed

of the Boston Massacre;
