Banjo Lesson is an artwork portraying an elder teaching a
boy how to play a banjo. This is a moving and memorable scene. This was painted
by Henry Ossawa Tanner, which also painted more scenes from everyday life. In
this painting, Tanner showed a positive and dignified image of Africans
Americans. In 1895, believing he could not fulfill his artistic aspirations in
America, Tanner settled in Paris. There, he focused on religious paintings.
