| In 1887 Venezuelan artist Martín Tovar y Tovar completed six canvas murals for the dome of the Salón Elíptico in the capitol building of Caracas, Venezuela. One of the outstanding murals (a detail of which is shown here) is dedicated to the Battle of Carabobo. Simón Bolívar’s revolutionary army won the 1821 battle and entered Caracas having ensured freedom for Venezuela. | ||||||
