Every year, as the holiday season descends on Washington, a beautiful mural emerges in an obscure, basement hallway of the Capitol.
"Merry Christmas," declares the long, wooden mural in evergreen paint and an Olde English font."And a very happy New Year."
Every year a beautiful mural emerges in an obscure, basement hallway of the Capitol. "Merry Christmas," declares the long, wooden mural in evergreen paint and an Olde English font. "And a very happy New Year." No one knew how long the mural has hung in the Capitol or when it was painted. The font and style looked like something from the late 1940s or 1950s.
Architect of the Capitol Paint Shop Supervisor Joseph Seraphin was something of a legend on Capitol Hill. He painted a mural on a wall of an office now used to distribute flags that fly atop the Capitol. That painting depicts Black Jack. That’s the coal black Quarter Horse that pulled President Kennedy’s caisson to the Capitol when he laid in state.
