The artist that set the standard for history paintings was Benjamin West.
Benjamin West (1738-1820) was an American painter who was noted for developing a technique in which he combined the conventions of traditional heroic paintings with the themes and clothing of modern realism.
West was a self-taught painter who traveled to Italy to define his style as classical by studying the works of the great Italian masters.
Later, he traveled to England, and met Joshua Reynolds (portraitist), and obtained the protection of George III, who commissioned him to carry out portraits of members of the royal family and, in 1772, appointed him as a court painter. His most outstanding works are:
- The Deal of a Penny with the Indians (1772).
- Death on a pale horse (1802).
He is also noted for being the founder of the Royal Academy of the Arts. Therefore, he was an inspiration to many young American painters such as Gilbert Stuart and John Singleton Copley.
