"Compared with other locations across New York State and across the nation, the county's historic portraiture is impressive, rich and varied."
– Historian Ruth Piwonka
Columbia County’s painted portraiture legacy spans more than three centuries of historically significant or artistically important works by self-taught, naïve and itinerant painters, as well as important artists of the time, and including some of the earliest works in America.
