Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781916237803.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lavishly illustrated study of two preeminent eighteenth-century American artists.\n\nThis book offers the first serious investigation of the relationship between eighteenth-century American Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley. For a brief span of time, the two expatriates had a close working relationship—which we can see substantially reflected in both the formal language and the subject matter of many of their best works—but it eventually turned into a rivalry.\n\nAfter a brief prologue discussing the earliest of West’s depictions of historical events in America, painted prior to Copley’s arrival in England, the book follows the year-by-year evolution of Copley’s painting from 1775 to his death in 1815, with an underlying focus on his ongoing give-and-take relationship with West. It closes with examinations of hitherto little-known and unstudied major late paintings by both artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Burlington Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666366488629,"sku":"ByrdShop_1916237800","price":76.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781916237803_acc1b966-8206-4103-91ad-1021eeca9517.jpg?v=1782461584","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/copley-and-west-in-england-17751815-john-singleton-copley-and-benjamin-west-in-england-17751815-9781916237803","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
