George Caleb Bingham Find

Came face to face with one of my great-great-great uncle, George Caleb Bingham's old master works on display at the Brooklyn Museum this weekend. Never thought I'd see it in person, counting it as a miracle. George is considered one of the greatest painters of the 19th century. Read about his work here.
