Statue of Nathanael Greene (U.S. Capitol)

The Statue of Nathanael Greene is a bronze sculpture located in the National Statuary Hall Collection within the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. It is one of two statues donated by the state of Rhode Island, the other being a statue of Roger Williams. Nathanael Greene was a major general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, highly regarded as a brilliant military strategist and one of George Washington's most trusted officers.

The statue depicts Greene in his military uniform. Its presence in the National Statuary Hall Collection commemorates his significant contributions to the cause of American independence. The process of selecting Greene and commissioning the statue involved decisions made by the Rhode Island state legislature. The statue serves as a lasting tribute to Greene's legacy and Rhode Island's role in the founding of the United States. The National Statuary Hall Collection itself is intended to honor prominent figures from each state's history.
