We just learned about the Character Heads by Dutch artist Mathieu Kessels.
Another neoclassical art sculpture is the Columbus Doors by Randolph Rogers in 1855, in Washington D.C.
These bronze doors are on the east part of the US Capitol Building, and they show the life of Christopher Columbus.
There are 16 panels on the doors, with two archways above, telling everything from Columbus before he left for America, to him landing in the new world.
Rogers was an American sculptor born in New York, who later moved to Italy to work with other famous sculptors.
He made many famous American sculptures like these door and other statues across the country.
