New York Painting Begins: Eighteenth-Century Portraits
From: Tuesday 15 SeptemberTo: Thursday 25 March
Location: New-York Historical Society

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.Opening hours New-York Historical Society:
