Thomas Eakins' oil painting “Sailing” starts a two-month run Thursday at Kansas City's premier art institution. The display comes as the city prepares to host the NFL Draft for the first time.
To settle its wager after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Museum of Art will loan the Nelson-Atkins the 1875 painting "Sailing" by Thomas Eakins. The Philadelphia painter is widely revered as a giant of 19th and early 20th-century American art, but less known in Kansas City.
