Duncanson, a Cincinnati based-artist, was part of the Ohio River Valley landscape painters. He followed the model established by the Hudson River School, achieving success and acclaim even with restrictions imposed on him as an African American or "free colored person." More than 20 paintings and drawings from the 1840's to 1870's will be on view.
