1738 1820 Autograph Benjamin


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, Benjamin West, a prominent American artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is seen gazing introspectively into the distance, his hand poised to make a mark on the parchment before him. Born on October 10, 1738, in Springfield, Pennsylvania, West is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of American art. West's artistic talents were discovered at an early age, and he was apprenticed to a local painter at the age of 14. He later studied under the renowned British painter, William Smith, in London, where he honed his skills and developed a deep appreciation for the European artistic tradition. West's most famous works include "The Death of General Wolfe" and "The Oath of the Horatii," which brought him great acclaim and established his reputation as a master of history painting. He was also a founding member of the Royal Academy in London and served as its president from 1792 until his death on March 31, 1820. This portrait, which dates from the later years of West's life, shows him in the prime of his artistic career. The autograph below the image attests to its provenance and adds an intriguing personal touch to this historical record of a remarkable artist. Benjamin West's legacy continues to inspire and influence artists to this day, and his works can be found in museums and galleries around the world. This portrait offers a rare glimpse into the life and mind of a man who helped shape the course of American art history.
