“I am thinking of Winter Scene in Brooklyn by Francis Guy and the complicated feelings this two hundred year old painting of the quaint, but vibrant community in downtown Brooklyn might conjure in us at this moment. We might only be able to imagine a scene like this right now, but the painting underscores the importance of community—especially in a city that can feel alienating in the best of times. It is a testament to the evolution, adaptability, and resilience of our communities." Posted by Gwen Arriaga, Manager of Touring ExhibitionsFrancis Guy (American, 1760-1820).
