@history_with_amy: Learn about this remarkably rare painting and the boy who was once erased from it. It’s called ‘Bélizaire and the Frey Children’ and has been attributed to Jacques Amans. It will be on display at @The Metropolitan Museum of Art this autumn! #belizaire #belizareandthefreychildren #arthistory #arthistorytiktok #americanart #americanhistory #blackhistory #History #19thcentury #historywithamy #historyfacts #historyofart #themet #artmuseum

I have a feeling he was related to the family. Probably the father. The boy does resemble the other children.

Given his clothing & that he was in close proximity to the children, I would guess that he was a half-brother.

that's def their brother. I would guess the wife sold him and had him removed from the painting, to erase his memory.

I’m thinking Mr Frey was his father and that’s why he was wearing nice clothes. Sort of extra evil that the widow sold him away after her husband died

Another quick observation: He isn’t depicted as fearful or subservient. He appears calm, if not annoyed lol

I think the widow knew Belizaire was her kids' half brother, that's why she sold him and erased him from the painting

A lot of comments speculating that he’s Frey’s son but it’s much more likely that the artist just painted everyone with similar features.

Sounds like Belezaire might’ve been Mr. Freys son

How could it be their half brother when the bill of sales reported him to be 6 when he came to the family? I’m glad his story is being told.

that's a sibling. he looks too much like the other children to not be related.

i think the artist knows something about the boy and that why he painted him with the kids , maybe related to them ?
