"Simeon with the Infant Jesus" is a painting by the renowned Anglo-American artist Benjamin West, created in the late 18th century. West, who was born in 1738 in Pennsylvania and later moved to England, became a prominent figure in the art world, eventually serving as the second president of the Royal Academy. His works often depicted historical, religious, and classical themes, and "Simeon with the Infant Jesus" is a notable example of his religious oeuvre.

The painting illustrates a scene from the New Testament, specifically the moment described in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 2:25-35), where Simeon, a devout man in Jerusalem, meets the infant Jesus in the temple. According to the biblical account, Simeon had been promised by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Messiah. Upon seeing Jesus, Simeon takes the child in his arms and praises God, acknowledging the fulfillment of the prophecy.

West's depiction captures the profound spiritual significance of this encounter. The composition is marked by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique West mastered under the influence of the Baroque tradition. The figures of Simeon and the infant Jesus are rendered with a tender realism, emphasizing the emotional depth of the moment. Simeon's expression is one of reverent awe and fulfillment, while the infant Jesus is portrayed with a serene, divine presence.

The painting reflects West's skill in conveying complex theological themes through his art. His ability to blend realism with idealism allows viewers to engage deeply with the narrative. "Simeon with the Infant Jesus" stands as a testament to West's enduring legacy in religious art, showcasing his talent for capturing the essence of biblical stories with both emotional and visual impact.
