EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Anglo-American painter, Benjamin West. The engraving, skillfully created by George Henry Harlow in the late 18th century, immortalizes West's artistic prowess and contribution to historical scenes during the American War of Independence. Benjamin West, born in 1738 and passing away in 1820, was a true master of his craft. His specialization in historical scenes allowed him to capture pivotal moments from this significant period with remarkable detail and emotion. Through his brushstrokes, he transported viewers back to a time when America fought for its independence. As an artist of great repute, West held esteemed positions such as President of the Royal Academy. His influence on the art world extended far beyond his own creations; he nurtured countless aspiring artists who sought guidance under his tutelage. This particular print serves as a testament to West's enduring legacy. It reminds us of his profound impact on history painting and how he used art as a medium for storytelling. The image is part of the Look and Learn / Elgar Collection housed within a private collection.
