His Name Was Bélizaire

The names and histories of black people, especially enslaved people, are really hard to find in traditional documentation. The work made by Jeremy K. Simien when acquiring this painting and then have it restored and researched is incredible, since he got to not only have it attributed to the French artist Jacques Amans but finding the name of the formerly erased enslaved teenager in the painting: Bélizaire.

It was acquired by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and this fall will be on view in Gallery 756 of the American Wing.

"Bélizaire and the Frey Children", ca. 1837, Jacques Aman (attributed). The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

"An 1837 Portrait of an Enslaved Child, Obscured by Overpainting for a Century, Has Been Restored and Acquired by the Met", Artnet, August 15 2023.

Queen Nefertari's Egypt was an amazing exhibit! Even though I was only able to see it on the last day it was wonderful. It was amazing to find out about Queen Nefertari's queenhood and the rediscovery of her tomb. I couldn't believe how many artifacts were collect in the piece; each telling a different story of life in ancient Egypt.
