Massachusetts State House Art and Artifact Collections - Paintings

The State House Art Commission has compiled this list of all paintings in the building.

Identities and attributions of many 17th and 18th century colonial portraits have been brought into question since the commissioning of copies for the collection. Titles of originals have consequently been changed by owners of both source paintings and copies to reflect this recent scholarship.
