Centennial Murals: Nature, Progress, Culture and Industry

  • Evergreene Architectural Arts of New York City
  • 2010, Oil on canvas with aluminum gilded borders
  • location700 Capitol Avenue

When the Capitol was constructed, space for murals was provided in the pendentives, the reverse triangular spaces right below the dome, but the murals were not completed until 2010 — 100 years later.

The four pendentive murals inside the dome reflect the range of diversity, professions, landmarks, architecture and culture that comprises the rich social fabric of Kentucky’s past and present, as well as the unique landscapes of Commonwealth’s distinctive regions.
