Here’s something amusing.

I’ve been listening to the Episodic Table of Elements and recently got through aluminum, in which is discussed the Washington Monument, because the uppermost point of it is a solid chunk of aluminum. In the course of discussing the history of the monument, the podcaster also described some other Washington monuments, some merely proposed and some that got built.

In 1832, Congress finally decided they really truly wanted a monument to Washington (the man himself hadn’t been thrilled with spending public funds on it), and

...tackled the problem head-on, commissioning Horatio Greenough to build a statue of Washington. What he created was, to put it mildly, unexpected.

Named “Enthroned Washington,” the marble sculpture portrays George Washington as a shirtless titan, ensconced on an elaborate throne with his right hand pointing toward the heavens.

It was not received well.

Onlookers joked that Washington was trying to reach for his clothes. It only stood in the Capitol Rotunda for a couple years before it was relocated to the East Lawn, then again outside the U. S. Patent Office before finally being locked away in the Smithsonian.

Feast your eyes upon this majesty!!
