Johnson’s French Finds
About
Discover the collection of John G. Johnson (1841–1917), who, from humble beginnings, became one of the most important lawyers of the Gilded Age. This installation explores Johnson’s efforts to collect French paintings from the 1700s, which were all the rage among wealthy Americans of his generation.
