A Pastoral Visit by Richard Norris Brooke - a podcast by Karen Jackson
from 2019-05-11T16:39:10
In the late 1800s, it was common for families to have their pastor over for Sunday dinner. That’s what Richard Norris Brooke is depicting in this cozy domestic scene.
We’ll find out what inspired him to document the lives of his African-Americans neighbors in Warrenton, Virginia and the story of the man who founded the first art museum in the country, The Corcoran Gallery.
