Exhibition
New York
1827
The National Academy of Design exhibited Samuel F. B. Morse’s large painting of the House of Representatives in New York in 1827. Its catalogue listed the canvas as number 51, describing the chamber in the Capitol at Washington and its eighty-eight portraits. The surviving museum record identifies the full canvas, rather than the artist’s smaller preparatory study. The complete annual exhibition checklist and its precise opening and closing dates remain unconfirmed here.
Images where available. Every entry keeps its exhibition evidence.
Creators identified in exhibition research. Individual work records show the available evidence.
