Battle of the Three-named Sculptors
Daniel Chester French might be the best known sculptor of Washington's monumental art, because he made the best known sculpture in town: Lincoln seated at one end of the National Mall. He also sculpted a fountain in the center of DuPont Circle, in a neighborhood that has been fashionable for more than a century. A prolific artist, most of French's work is in places other than Washington. James Earle Fraser contributed a larger number of works to the capital city, including many important ones: two sculptures each at the Supreme Court, the National Archives, the Treasury Building, and Memorial Bridge.
Two other three-named sculptors, Robert Ingersoll Aitken, and Carl Paul Jennewein each have a number of monumental works in Washington.
