There is also a statue of him next to the [[Federal Hill (Kentucky)|Federal Hill mansion]], where he visited relatives and which is the inspiration for ''My Old Kentucky Home''. A painting by [[Howard Chandler Christy]] entitled, "Stephen Foster and the Angel of Genius" is on display in the park's art collection. The painting inspired [[Florence Foster Jenkins]] to author a tableau in which she personally plays the role of the angel depicted in Christy's painting. The scene was featured in the film ''[[Florence Foster Jenkins (film)|Florence Foster Jenkins]]'' in 2016.
