@13, "The Pantheon blushes and faints", I assume, at having its basic form made a vehicle for ornate decoration. Also, it's in Rome.

Perhaps he chose it so that he could explain why he likes it: 'El Capitan is on the left'.

      <![CDATA[1)  The Pantheon is not an architectural work that stands out for its frills, swirls, or decadence.   The Greek tradition was balance, order, a humbler beauty.   Statuary Hall falls under a different, more decadent, ornate style; an American Rococo, even.   Please ignore Jen Grave's senseless, and ineloquent references to Statuary Hall being like, basically, a ridiculously architecturally elaborate museum. (hair flip)<br />
<br />
2) Clinton and Jefferson share a likeness, not in that they were both renaissance men, but that they had rosey cheeks.  How appropriate.   Because everyone knows Jefferson had rosey cheeks.   It, like, makes sense.<br />
<br />
3) And then there is the "environmental message" of the singular, broken-off tree trunk (broken at the top, mind you ) in Obama's choice of the Thomas Hill painting.   Ok ok, someone else can run with this....

      <![CDATA[Hm. Jen, I grew up in Minnesota, and I've always had that feeling that we were looking west. There was more room, more growth, more space, and more freedom that direction. East, there were trees. And ... Wisconsin. And that boring, smothering Eastern Seaboard.<br />
<br />
Yosemite was a place to get to, the last stop on a long journey. Could it be the same, looking west from Chicago?
