19th-century Philadelphia was a hotbed of artistic activity, filled with artists and illustrators trained at renowned local schools like the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA). Young men and women struggled to make their marks as landscape painters, portraitists, sculptors, and illustrators. Meanwhile, the new millionaires of the Workshop of the World built private art galleries and amassed magnificent collections, many of which would later be donated to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, and other major repositories. ” A Ghostly Gallery” brings these artists back to life, along with their wealthy patrons.
