NYAB Event - "New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits" Exhibition

This event has ended.
At The New-York Historical Society
Media: Painting

The New-York Historical Society holds one of the nation's premiere collections of eighteenth-century American portraits. During this formative century a small group of native-born painters and European émigrés created images that represent a broad swath of elite colonial New York society-- landowners and tradesmen, and later Revolutionaries and Loyalists-- while reflecting the area's Dutch roots and its strong ties with England.
