Lewis and Clark Expedition . The paintings were shown at the historic site during August, September and November of 2006 to commemorate the Bicentennial of their return to Saint Louis in September, 1806. Central to the exhibit is a painting of an overview of Saint
Louis circa 1806 with the Corps of Discovery in their dugout
canoes coming down the Mississippi River to dock at the foot
of Market Street. The townspeople, 1000 strong, line the banks
of the 50 foot bluff the old city stood on-- the site or the
Gateway Arch today. As far as is known, no other artist has depicted
the Return of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery showing
the city and the jubilation of the explorers and the citizen's
of Saint Louis welcoming them home. Additional Exhibition Information: |
