The book focuses on the life and works of Constantino Brumidi, an Italian artist known for his remarkable frescoes and murals that adorn the United States Capitol building. The narrative emphasizes Brumidi's dedication to his adopted country and explores the struggles he faced, including criticism and a lack of recognition during and after his lifetime.  The opening of the book introduces Constantino Brumidi as a passionate artist who devoted his life to painting the Capitol. Murdock expresses her admiration for Brumidi's artistry and his patriotism, prompting her to question why such an important artist remains largely unknown to the American public. The text delves into Brumidi's history, including his immigration to America from Italy, his artistic achievements in the Capitol over the terms of six presidents, and his tragic fate of dying in poverty and obscurity, despite his significant contributions to American art and culture. Murdock sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Brumidi's life and legacy, highlighting the importance of honoring forgotten artists and their works.
