EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Benjamin West, Esqr R. A. and His Son RI West, 1773" artist Valentine Green beautifully captures the essence of affectionate fatherhood in 18th century America. The portrait showcases Benjamin West, a renowned British painter who made significant contributions to American art during his time. The image depicts a tender moment between father and son as they stand together in what appears to be an art gallery or studio. With their mirrored reflections softly captured in the background, it symbolizes the passing down of artistic talent from one generation to another. Benjamin West's gentle gaze towards his young son reveals not only his love for him but also his pride in seeing potential within him. The child, identified as Raphael Lamar West by historical records, looks up at his father with admiration and curiosity—perhaps envisioning himself following in his footsteps someday. This mezzotint print on laid paper serves as a visual testament to the importance of family bonds and heritage within the world of art. It reminds us that creativity can be nurtured through generations, shaping both personal legacies and cultural landscapes. Displayed prominently at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this artwork stands as a timeless tribute to Benjamin West's influential role as an artist and loving father—a legacy that continues to inspire artists across borders even today.
