This amazing frieze can be found inside the Circuit Courthouse in Annapolis, Maryland. This was erected as a memorial to honor those lawyers who fought and died in the “Great War.” To me, this depiction brings to mind the famous painting by Jacques-Louis David, Oath of the Horatii. A pre-Revolution work of art, the theme is loyalty to the state, without regard to clan or clergy. There is a Latin inscription at the bottom, but it is too faded for me to read. Any thoughts? A translation would be greatly appreciated.
Beautiful Photographs 
This is a great photo of this week. Thanks Russell 😀 😀
Thanks, Cee! I appreciate it! 🙏
Wonderful statue, Russell. So young, so in shape! 🙂
Thanks, Marsha! The security guards yelled at me for taking photos inside the courthouse. How we suffer for art! LOL
I got yelled at for getting too close to Mona Lisa, Russell. 🙂 We do suffer! 🙂
