DETROIT, MI - A Kehinde Wiley painting hung in the background of a scene on the show "Empire" is actually at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

Kehinde Wiley's painting, "Officer of the Hussars" has been seen hanging in an office throughout the first season of Fox's hit show. The DIA owns the painting, which shows a black man on horseback, holding a sword, posed in a scene typically reserved for white males from art history. The piece is dated 2007 and was acquired by the museum.

Art, including multiple works by Wiley, plays a prominent role in "Empire," as broken down here.

Here's a feature in the New York Times on the 37-year-old Wiley.
