This exhibition features material from the vast Virginia Historical Society portrait collection. The paintings presented tell poignant stories about five people: a woman who inspired the English poet Alexander Pope; a royal governor who was murdered by a mob; a Federalist politician struggling against the tide in Jeffersonian Virginia; a patron of the arts who made his fortune as a robber baron in the Gilded Age; and a Virginia suffragette, freethinker and political radical.
