Painting Description
"The Woman Clothed With The Sun Fleeth From The Persecution Of The Dragon" is a historical painting by Benjamin West, an Anglo-American artist known for his historical scenes and as one of the founding members of the Royal Academy in London. This work, while not as extensively documented as some of West's other paintings, illustrates a scene from the Book of Revelation (12:1-6, 13-16) in the Christian New Testament. The painting depicts the apocalyptic vision of a woman "clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars," who is being pursued by a great red dragon, representing Satan.
West's painting captures the dramatic moment of the woman's flight from the dragon's persecution, embodying the struggle between good and evil, a common theme in religious art. The artwork is characterized by its dynamic composition, the use of rich colors, and the emotional intensity typical of West's style, which often blended Neoclassical composition with the expressive power of Romanticism.
Benjamin West (1738–1820) was an influential painter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, whose works included historical and mythological subjects, often with moral or allegorical messages. Born in Pennsylvania, West had a significant impact on the development of academic art in Britain and served as the second president of the Royal Academy. His paintings are held in major museums and collections around the world, and his influence extended to a generation of artists who saw him as a pioneer of a new, more expressive style of historical painting.
While "The Woman Clothed With The Sun Fleeth From The Persecution Of The Dragon" may not be as well-known as West's other works, such as "The Death of General Wolfe" or "Penn's Treaty with the Indians," it nonetheless represents an important example of his religious and visionary subject matter. The painting's current location, provenance, and critical reception would require further research to provide a more complete understanding of its significance within West's oeuvre and the broader context of art history.
