This beautifully and thoroughly illustrated book, which constitutes the first serious investigation of the relationship between Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley, will be of considerable interest to both British and American art historians, and appeal to art lovers from both countries.00The book begins with a brief prologue discussing the earliest of West?s depictions of recent historical events and of subjects set in America, painted prior to Copley?s arrival in England. It then follows the year-by-year evolution of Copley?s painting from 1775 to his death in 1815, with an underlying focus upon his ongoing give-and-take with West, and it ends with examination of hitherto little-known and unstudied major late paintings, from after 1800, by both artists.
