The Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery is highlighting its portrait of John Brown, painted by Norwegian-born artist Ole Peter Hansen Balling. Brown, born in Torrington, Connecticut, was the radical abolitionist behind the 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry, an event that helped push the United States toward the Civil War. The work is part of the gallery's collection and is being shared with audiences interested in American art and history.
