The Statue of Freedom and Its Two Sculptors
Washington’s Capitol dome hosts the statue of Freedom, created by Clark Mills and Thomas Crawford. Mills rose from poverty to carve Civil War era monuments including the equestrian Jackson and Washington statues, while Crawford conceived the original design and oversaw the bronze casting process before his death.
