George Washington Painting Restored

George Washington’s 1813 portrait, restored to dazzling glory, is back on display at the New York State Capitol—just in time for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Created by Albany artist Ezra Ames, inspired by Gilbert Stuart’s iconic Lansdowne Portrait, this masterpiece is part of a legacy of over 400 portraits by Ames. Thanks to a collaboration between the Office of General Services and art conservation centers, the painting now shines brighter than ever, symbolizing New York’s enduring role in America’s founding story.
