John Vanderlyn's The Landing of Columbus, 1847
"Artist Titus Kaphar ( is an American contemporary painter and MacArthur fellow from Kalamazoo, Michigan, whose work reconfigures and regenerates art history to include the African-American subject) says that his 2014 Columbus Day Painting was inspired by his young son’s conflicted and confusing study of the putative discoverer of America."
