Herkese merhaba 👋🏽 Bugün Amerikan resminin babası olarak kabul edilen, döneminin en meşhur tarih konulu resimlerine imza atan Benjamin West'ten ve hayatından sizlere söz etmek istiyorum. Uluslararası üne sahip olan West, 1738 senesinde Pennsylvania - Amerika'da doğmuş, 1760 - 63 seneleri arasında İtalya'da eğitim almıştır. Eğitimi sonrasında Londra'ya yerleşen sanatçı, 1765'te Elizabeth Shewell ile evlenmiştir. 1772 senesinde III. George'un ressamlığına atanmış, atanma sonrasında portre ressamlığını bırakarak dinsel, tarihsel ve mitolojik temalar üzerine yoğunlaşmıştır. 1792 senesinde Kraliyet Akademisi'nin başkanlığı görevine getirilmiştir. Vefatına kadar Amerika'ya dönmediği halde Amerika'dan İngiltere'ye gelen sanatçılar tarafından sevilmiş ve onların akıl hocası olmuştur. Bu etkilenme, sanatçının 19. yüzyıl Amerikan sanatının gelişmesini etkilemiştir. West, 1820 senesinde Londra'da hayatını kaybetmiştir. 1- Self-Portrait / 2- Saul and the Witch of Endor / 3- Mrs. Benjamin West II with her son Benjamin West III / 4- The Death of Nelson / 5- Cymon and Iphigenia / 6- Isaac's Servant Tying the Bracelet on Rebecca's Arm / 7- Tobias Curing his Father's Blindness / 8- The Battle of La Hogue / 9- Alexander III of Scotland rescued from the Fury of a Stag by the Intrepidity of Colin Fitzgerald / 10- The Death of Chatham #benjaminwest #art #sanat #americanpainter #America #portrait #benibunaannemzorladi https://www.instagram.com/p/BzvZK6qgJTq/?igshid=1mbbwtsibhxfj
