Curator's Choice: “The Rapalje Children”

Clip: Season 2015 Episode 210 | 3m 6s

John Durand’s “The Rapalje Children,” a masterful example of colonial painting in America.

A look at John Durand’s “The Rapalje Children,” a treasure of New-York Historical Society’s collection and one of the finest examples of colonial painting in America. Curator of drawings Roberta Olson introduces NYC-ARTS to this surprisingly modern looking group of young people, who seem to speak directly to us nearly 250 years after their collective portrait was painted.
