[QUOTE="Sid.Stavros, post: 557404, member: 3883"] Now we are here on the 3rd ''hard Lockdown'' but we still continue the fight! ______________________________________________________________ [img]http://img7.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/28920/2892097752f81e5300c318a13ea25416d31345b2.jpg[/img] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.aoc.gov/explore-capitol-campus/art/constantino-brumidi[/URL] What the above article does not say (maybe they..''forgot" it) is that the real name of the artist is Constantinos Broumides and was a Greek, his family left Greece (Peloponnesus) at 1770 to survive due to the prosecutions of the ottomans on the innocent villages population. His tomb remained virtually unknown until 1952, when he was found in Glenwood Cemetery, Washington, and on the plaque he was referred to as an "Italian refugee". It took the perseverance of Myrtle Murdoch, a guide at the Capitol who searched for information about Broumidis fascinated by his work and wrote his biography, so that everyone would know the "Greek Michael-Angelos of the Capitol" which received the Congressional Gold Medal posthumously. I am raising a Brebbia with Clan Aromatic for the memory of Ms Myrtle Murdoch. [/QUOTE]
