Mississippi Museum of Art displays rare pre-Civil War portraits of enslaved individuals, sparking conversations on slavery's impact.
The Mississippi Museum of Art now owns and displays the only two known portraits of enslaved Mississippians painted before the Civil War: "Portrait of Frederick" and "Delia."
Painted around 1840, these rare portraits offer a rare glimpse into the lives of enslaved individuals.
The museum acquired "Portrait of Frederick" in partnership with the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, with plans to alternate its display between the two institutions.
Museum director Betsy Bradley emphasizes that the portraits aim to spark important conversations about the human cost of slavery and its lasting impact.
