Benjamin West was one of the most celebrated artists of the 18th century, and his rise to fame is the subject of this absorbing biography by John Galt. Drawing on extensive archival research and personal interviews, Galt traces West's early years in Pennsylvania, his training in Italy, and his ascent to the presidency of the Royal Academy of London. Along the way, readers will learn about the political, social, and artistic forces that shaped West's life and career.
