Description
Art historian Mallory Mortillaro shares the fascinating story of a nine-foot-tall portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Drawing on her firsthand research, she reveals how the painting traveled from prominent exhibitions, including the United States Capitol and the Centennial Exposition, to its long-time home at the Hartley Dodge Memorial. Now on loan to the National Portrait Gallery, the portrait’s remarkable journey offers new insight into Lincoln’s legacy and the power of rediscovery.
