EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of "Elizabeth Shewell West and Her Son, Raphael" painted by Benjamin West in approximately 1770. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures 66.5x66.3 cm and is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Benjamin West, an American artist who studied in Italy before settling in London, was deeply inspired by the artistic ideals of Italian Renaissance master Raphael. In fact, he named his eldest son after him as a testament to his admiration. When creating this tender double portrait of his wife and child, West drew inspiration from Raphael's renowned Madonna of the Chair. The painting captures a maternal moment between Elizabeth Shewell West and her young son Raphael. Elizabeth is depicted wearing a headscarf while cradling her precious boy lovingly in her arms. The circular composition adds to the overall harmony and balance of the piece. With meticulous attention to detail and a gentle touch, Benjamin West beautifully portrays the bond between mother and child. This intimate family scene exudes warmth and tenderness that transcends time. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to 18th-century elegance where love knows no boundaries or limitations – only pure affection between a mother and her beloved son.
