Twin Cities artist Leslie Barlow remembers wandering the hallways of the Minneapolis Institute of Art as a child and discovering the 1856 painting Peace Concluded by Sir John Everett Millais. The family portrait shows a white, British family gathered in a cozy living room setting while the father, a wounded war veteran, reads a newspaper announcing the end of the Crimean War.
