West
West is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Benjamin West made grand biblical scenes in the late 1700s, drawing directly from stories he saw as dramatic human moments. You’ll find his pencil sketch Hagar and Ishmael (1776) showing the exhausted mother and child under a palm tree, light catching their faces. If you like the mix of story and emotion, tap into his drawing to see how he arranged figures and shadows.
