Over the last 20 years and through the generosity of many individuals and art institutions, the Capitol Collection now includes well over 100 period paintings. Many are by California’s most respected artists, including Thomas Hill, William Keith, Raymond Dabb Yelland, and Edwin Deakin, and evoke that same "essence" of California as those in the permanent collection.
At this writing, some of the loaned pieces are at the State Capitol for very short time periods; others have stayed for years. The California Legislature and managers of the Capitol Collection are happy to review with any interested parties of the Loan Collection guidelines and conditions.
