This deification of George Washington can be seen in the US Capital building rotunda, looking up and beholding the gods of ancient mythology. If George had a flame thrower, I don't think he would have hesitated to torch such a misrepresentation of himself and Scripture. But, he died in 1799. The fresco was painted in 1865.
