In Honor of President's Day

Declared at his death “First in peace, first in war, and first in the hearts of his countrymen,” George Washington is revered even today. Through works of art often drawn from area museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Delaware Art Museum, and the New-York Historical Society, see how artists of his own time portrayed him for posterity and how that posterity, through its own crop of artists, commemorated his deeds. 

Presented by Michael Norris, Ph.D. of Armchair Art Tours, former museum educator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
