"The Ohio Statehouse, located in Columbus, Ohio, is a beautiful building with a fascinating history.  Completed in 1861, it still serves as the functioning state capitol and the seat of Ohio's state government.  However, it is also a historical architectural marvel, and it houses a significant collection of art under the care of the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board.  The Art and Artistry of the Ohio Statehouse delves into the art collection at the Statehouse and the artistic features of the iconic Greek Revival capitol.  The people of Ohio, its tumultuous politics, its role in war and its accomplishments in peace are highlighted in the artworks addressed in these pages.  And while the story written here is quintessentially Ohioan, readers from all states and countries will relate to the greater human spirit that shines through in the art and artistry found within the walls of the Ohio Statehouse."

Wonderful Book

If you recently enjoyed a tour of the statehouse and wanted something to remember it, then this book is for you! The Art and Artistry of the Ohio Statehouse is filled with in-depth information about the history and artistry of the building as well as glossy and high-quality images of all the rooms you get to see on the tour (and even some of the ones you don't). I especially enjoy how the book includes most of the paintings and portraits you see lining the pastel walls in the building's historic halls. I have collected a few artifacts and souvenirs from the Ohio Statehouse, but this book certainly stands out in my collection. Hats off to Dayna Jalkanen, wonderful job!
