The Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., stands on the tidal basin, and this view shows its domed colonnade reflected across the water. The memorial was designed by John Russell Pope and dedicated in 1943 to honor the third president and principal author of the Declaration of Independence. Its circular plan and open colonnade were chosen to echo Jefferson's own neoclassical tastes, which he drew from Roman models and showed in buildings such as Monticello and the University of Virginia. The setting, with cherry trees along the shore, makes the water view one of the most familiar perspectives on the monument.
