Academy Neoclassical Painter Plate President Royal West
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Benjamin West, a prominent American Neoclassical Painter and President of the Royal Academy. Engraved by J. Jenkins after G. H. Harlow, this exquisite illustration is taken from the renowned book "National Portrait Gallery Volume I" published in 1830. In this portrait, West's dignified presence emanates through his poised posture and confident gaze. The vertical composition adds to the sense of grandeur surrounding him, emphasizing his stature as an influential figure in the art world. As a pioneer of Neoclassicism in America, West's artistic style was characterized by its classical themes and meticulous attention to detail. His works often depicted historical events or mythological scenes with a profound sense of realism. Not only was he celebrated for his artistic talent, but also for his role as President of the Royal Academy – a testament to his esteemed position within the art community during that time. The engraving technique used in this print further enhances its timeless appeal, adding depth and texture to every stroke captured on paper. Ken Welsh has masterfully preserved this significant moment in history through his skillful reproduction. This print serves as a tribute to Benjamin West's enduring legacy as an American artist who left an indelible mark on both sides of the Atlantic.
