West the Father of American Painting Comes Alive Again
The article traces Benjamin West from his rise in London as George III’s favored painter and founder of an American school of art to his 19th century eclipse amid Victorian tastes. It notes his teaching influence, his Death of General Wolfe, and later revival by scholars at the Smithsonian while critics credit him as a craftsman and innovator who shaped American art.
