This biography covers Benjamin West (1738-1820), known as the?Father of American Art?. Including more than 75 illustrations, this book spotlights the life of West and provides a fresh view of eighteenth and early nineteenth century life in Philadelphia, Rome, London, and Paris. The author also provides portraitures of the artists of the brilliant years of British painting--among them Reynolds, Gainsborough, Angelica Kauffmann, Hoppner, Fuseli, Constable, Lawrence, and Turner--and the titled patrons and collectors of the period, as well describing the struggles for control of the Royal Academy.
