"Destruction of the Beast and the False Prophet" is a painting by Benjamin West, an Anglo-American artist known for his historical scenes and as one of the key figures in the establishment of the Royal Academy in London. Created in 1804, this work is a visual interpretation of a scene from the Christian biblical Book of Revelation (Revelation 19:20), which describes the apocalyptic end times and the final defeat of evil.

The painting is a dramatic and vivid representation of the moment when the Beast and the False Prophet, two figures symbolizing the ultimate evil and deception, are thrown into a "lake of fire" as described in the biblical text. West's composition is characterized by his use of strong chiaroscuro and dynamic figures to convey the intensity and chaos of the scene.

Benjamin West's interest in religious and mythological subjects was a hallmark of his career, and "Destruction of the Beast and the False Prophet" fits within this context. His works often reflected the moral and philosophical concerns of his time, and this painting, with its theme of divine justice and the triumph of good over evil, would have resonated with contemporary audiences.

West's influence on the development of historical painting and his role as a history painter to King George III made him a significant cultural figure in both the American and British art scenes of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. "Destruction of the Beast and the False Prophet" exemplifies his skill in conveying complex narratives through art and contributes to our understanding of the period's artistic and religious sensibilities.

The painting is part of West's broader oeuvre, which includes other notable works such as "The Death of General Wolfe" and "Penn's Treaty with the Indians." His legacy is reflected in the collections of major museums and institutions that continue to display and study his work. "Destruction of the Beast and the False Prophet," as a piece of West's religious iconography, remains an important work for scholars interested in the intersection of art, religion, and history during the turn of the 19th century.
