Commentary: The symbolism in the Biden inaugural painting by Robert S. Duncanson

 

The official “inauguration painting” displayed at a reception inside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday came weighted with layered symbolism. The deft choice spoke of a new administration with an insightful understanding of art’s potential power.

 

Apparently chosen by Jill Biden, the incoming first lady, and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) to commemorate the swearing-in ceremony, it was painted in 1859 by prominent Black artist Robert S. Duncanson (1821-1872). The painting is in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, up the street and around the corner from the Capitol.

 

Pointedly, it shows an America on the brink of catastrophe.

 

Golden light illuminates a carefully organized Arcadian landscape at the end of the day. Hills, trees and a shimmering lake are laid out in a subtly dynamic diagonal grid, which reflects the painter’s admiration for the popular French landscape artist Claude Lorrain. A luminous, blue sky caps and almost dominates the peaceful rural scene below.

Oh, his critique on the ineptness of Lin Wood and the out-of-her-element Sidney Powell was spot on. But he's like Gorka, hating "QAnon" because of emotional reasons likely tied to thinking people like microdick/steinfart was Q.
