Robert S. Duncanson | The Studio Museum in Harlem: "Robert S. Duncanson (1821–1872) was a painter of lush Midwestern landscapes, and one of the most prominent African-American artists working in the antebellum era. A “free colored person,” he was born in Seneca County, New York to an African-American mother and a Scottish Canadian father, but made his name in Cincinnati, Ohio (Author’s note: as a ‘Nati native, I am particularly psyched about this!) where he later moved with his family."
