When we saw this episode 13 recently, Melanie asked, who is the portrait of behind Andy in the Mayor's office? I figured it to be one of the Presidents, then possibly one of Andy's relatives, Robert E Lee or Jefferson Davis. I went online to the Andy Griffith Rerun Watchers Club, of which I have been a member(Stokes County Chapter) for a long time and asked the question in the forum. I then went to good ole wickapedia and found the answer. It is a portrait of Guiseppe Verdi, the opera composer, and one of my favorites.
I suppose he was hanging in the Mayors office, for in this episode, Hollywood comes to Mayberry, Mayor Pike's daughter, known for her singing(badly), serenades the Hollywood producer come to Mayberry to film.
