Post #15: John George Brown (Artist)

The 19th century realism painter, John George Brown, was a great painter who focused on portraits of children. The picture I chose showed a black boy and 3 white boys having fun together playing cards. I chose it because it is the first picture I've seen that depicted blacks and whites in harmony. I find it to be a very realistic image, it's as if someone simply took a photograph. I believe the artist should be as famous as Van Gogh and Rembrandt because of his high quality style of painting.
