This exhibition examines the evolution of Washington, D.C., through two new panoramic landscape paintings by local artist Peter Waddell and related works. One painting shows the grand city that planner Pierre “Peter” L’Enfant envisioned. The other captures the city's development by 1825, the year L’Enfant passed away. Organized in cooperation with the Albert H. Small Center for National Capital Area Studies.
