Thank you, Dan. Favorites are The Incredulity of St. Thomas and the splendid Archangel Michael.
Hallelujah! I am back in business with a new computer!

It was an easy call whether to include West in this Painters’ Pantheon.

Benjamin West is a fascinating character!
He was entirely self-taught and had very little education. He wound up going to Europe and painting there to great acclaim - his Death of Wolfe at Quebec and his Death of Nelson were very popular.
His religious subjects are often conventional - with the women being typical 18th century beauties and the men out of the French Academy. But every so often that internal brilliance breaks through - as in his painting of St. John writing the Revelation. Or his horrifying Judas at the Last Supper . . . .

Yes, I’ve noticed that conventionality, as you term it. I’ve learned to look past it.

Just love Crushing that old serpent! We are, after all, on the winning side--and the deed is already done: no Doug Flutie heroics are needed.

All artists do it! We just don’t notice it if it’s a style we’re used to.
