Exploring Amistad Gallery

Welcome to the Exploring Amistad Gallery. As you tour the gallery, you will see how the story of the Amistad Incident has inspired artists for over 160 years. The Exploring Amistad collection is just a portion of the many Amistad images that have been created surrounding this moment in history. Other organizations holding Amistad images can be found in this web site's Forum Links section .

Please note that several critical pieces are held by the New Haven Colony Historical Society. They include the Portrait of Cinque, by Nathaniel Jocelyn, and the only known image of the Amistad created at the time of the incident. These two images should not be overlooked in a study of imagery surrounding the Amistad..
