Robert S. Duncanson

**Robert Seldon Duncanson** () adalah lanskap Amerika abad ke-19 keturunan Eropa dan Afrika. Terinspirasi oleh seniman lanskap Amerika terkenal seperti Thomas Cole, Duncanson menciptakan lukisan pemandangan terkenal dan dianggap sebagai seniman generasi kedua Sekolah Sungai Hudson. Sebagai orang kulit hitam bebas di antebellum Amerika, Duncanson melibatkan komunitas abolitionist di Amerika dan Inggris untuk mendukung dan mempromosikan karyanya. Duncanson is considered the first African-American artist to be internationally known. Dia beroperasi di lingkaran budaya Cincinnati, Detroit, Montreal, dan London. Perdebatan sejarah seni rupa utama yang berpusat pada Duncanson menyangkut peran yang dimainkan oleh isu-isu rasial kontemporer dalam karyanya. Beberapa sejarawan seni, seperti Joseph D. Ketner, percaya bahwa Duncanson menggunakan metafora rasial dalam karya seninya, sementara yang lain, seperti Margaret Rose Vendryes, mencegah pemirsa mendekati karya seninya dengan perspektif rasial.
