"John Brown" is a seminal mural by American painter John Steuart Curry, one of the foremost figures in the Regionalism art movement. Created in 1939, this iconic work is housed within the Kansas State Capitol in Topeka, Kansas, specifically in the building's second-floor rotunda. The mural portrays the controversial figure of John Brown, a fervent abolitionist who played a pivotal role in the events leading up to the American Civil War. Brown is depicted with arms outstretched, a Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other, symbolizing his belief in both religious and militant methods to combat the institution of slavery. The mural is enveloped by a tumultuous scene that includes both pro-slavery and anti-slavery advocates, illustrating the violent clashes between these factions in Kansas during the period known as "Bleeding Kansas."

Curry's work is celebrated for its dynamic composition and emotional intensity, capturing the complex legacy of John Brown and the fraught history of slavery in America. The mural's placement in the Kansas State Capitol underscores its significance in reflecting the state's turbulent history and its role in the national debate over slavery. "John Brown" by John Steuart Curry is not only a masterpiece of American art but also a powerful historical narrative, encapsulating the strife and fervor of a nation on the brink of civil war. Through this mural, Curry contributes to the ongoing dialogue about freedom, justice, and the human condition, making it a critical piece of American cultural heritage.
