The "Treaty of Paris" by Benjamin West is a historically significant, yet unfinished, painting that was intended to commemorate the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which marked the end of the American Revolutionary War. Benjamin West, an Anglo-American painter of the late 18th century, was a prominent figure in the world of art, known for his historical scenes and as a proponent of neoclassicism. Born in Pennsylvania in 1738, West had a prolific career that spanned both sides of the Atlantic, eventually becoming the second president of the Royal Academy in London.

The Treaty of Paris itself was a landmark agreement between the United States and Britain that formally recognized American independence and delineated the boundaries between the United States and British North America. Given the treaty's significance, a painting commemorating this event was a project of considerable importance. West's ambition was to capture the moment of the treaty's signing in a grand manner, reflective of the event's historical significance.

The painting was to feature the British and American negotiation delegations, with the notable absence of the British representatives who refused to pose, leading to the work's incompletion. Despite this, West's partial depiction provides a fascinating insight into the period and the complexities of creating art that involves contemporary political figures. The figures that West did manage to include are rendered with the attention to detail and dignity characteristic of his style.

Although the "Treaty of Paris" remains unfinished, it holds a place in art history as a testament to the challenges artists may face when engaging with living subjects and contemporary events. The work is also significant for its attempt to visually document a pivotal moment in American and British history, offering insights into the era's cultural and political contexts. Benjamin West's unfinished "Treaty of Paris" remains a compelling piece, reflecting the ambitions and limitations faced by artists in the pursuit of commemorating historical events through their work.
