Here in this breathtaking artwork, we honor the framers of the Constitution. Barry Faulkner's mural of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 comes as a matted print, ready to frame. The original is on display in the National Archives Rotunda
In 1933, the chief architect of the National Archives, J. Russell Pope, recommended approval of a two-year contract to hire Barry Faulkner, a noted American muralist, to paint a mural for the Exhibit Hall in the planned Rotunda of the National Archives Building. The result was two large oil-on-canvas murals, each about 14 feet by 37 1/2 feet. One mural honors the signers of the Declaration and the other those who signed the Constitution.
