It dates from 1774 when the portrait of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham was presented to the state by Charles Willson Peale. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, decorative arts and works on paper dating from the thirteenth century to the present. The collection is rich in portraiture of Maryland governors, legislators and first ladies. Many of these works of art are displayed in the Maryland State House, Government House, and other legislative buildings throughout the Annapolis complex. In 1996, the collection grew extensively in size when the state acquired the Peabody Art Collection from the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, thus adding an invaluable collection of American and European paintings, sculptures, and works on paper to the state’s ownership.
