George Washington was many things: general, president, family man, and slaveholder. This giant of American history had a complex relationship with the enslaved—and often invisible—laborers who made his achievements possible. But through the art historical record, we can catch glimpses of these individuals and discover how they impacted Washington's life...and legacy. Today's image: John Trumbull, George Washington (1780). Oil on Canvas. Metropolitan Museum of Art. ______ This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
