Tobacco and corn column capitals represent Jefferson’s interest in agricultural innovation. Jefferson owned Monticello, a 5,000-acre plantation operated by hundreds of enslaved workers.

Thomas Jefferson was a writer, politician, planter, and scholar.
How should someone memorialize such a complex person? That task fell to Rudulph Evans, who sculpted the statue at the center of the memorial.
Evans’ work depicts Jefferson looking towards the White House holding a paper scroll. A closer examination reveals details about Jefferson’s life.
Courtesy Kevin Kemmerer
The Thomas Jefferson Memorial Commission asked six sculptors to propose statue designs.
After several revisions, the commission selected the silent, standing design by Rudulph Evans.
Some say the Jefferson statue faces the US Treasury building, where a statue of Alexander Hamilton, Jefferson’s greatest political rival, stands.
The Roman Bronze Company of New York cast the permanent bronze version of the Thomas Jefferson statue in 1947.

Thomas Jefferson was a writer, politician, planter, and scholar.
How should someone memorialize such a complex person? That task fell to Rudulph Evans, who sculpted the statue at the center of the memorial.
Evans’ work depicts Jefferson looking towards the White House holding a paper scroll. A closer examination reveals details about Jefferson’s life.
