 In September 2016, the $60 million Capitol Dome restoration will wrap up and scaffolding will be removed, once again offering visitors full views of the stunning rotunda topped by &quot;The Apotheosis of Washington,&quot; a fresco by Italian-born artist Constantino Brumidi.  To give an idea of the height of the rotunda, the fresco (still visible through the protective sheeting) actually encompasses more than 4,600 square feet.
