About Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson wished to be remembered as three things: author of the Declaration of Independence, author of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and father of the University of Virginia.
Thomas Sully created four portraits of Mr. Jefferson. The Jefferson Society is the proud owner of one such portrait, which is on display in the Rotunda.
