This large painting by Curry is a large study for the artist’s mural in the rotunda of the Kansas State Capitol. One of the most compelling and controversial figures in nineteenth-century American history, John Brown devoted his life to opposing the extension of slavery in the 1850s into the Kansas Territory in battles that presaged the Civil War, which began in 1861. Curry depicted Brown larger-than-life in an open, stark landscape besieged by a tornado, a meteorological symbol for the conflict, and with an enslaved man at his side. The abolitionist’s crazed expression and animated hair and beard suggest the messianic fervor that fueled his opposition to human bondage.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/488649\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - John Brown\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Steuart Curry","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887878775027,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (69\" x 45\")","offer_id":49887878807795,"sku":null,"price":4502.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (22 1\/8\" x 14 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887878840563,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (27 1\/8\" x 17 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887878873331,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (33 1\/4\" x 21 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887878906099,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (42 7\/8\" x 28\")","offer_id":49887878938867,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (51 1\/2\" x 33 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887878971635,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (60 5\/8\" x 39 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887879004403,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (72 3\/4\" x 47 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887879037171,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/JohnBrown.jpg?v=1789247978","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/john-brown","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
