Anglo-American artist Benjamin West was born in the colony of Pennsylvania, but took up residence in London, becoming President of the Royal Academy. The self-taught West produced history and mythological motifs, such as this Neoclassical canvas demonstrating how “Love Conquers All” as Venus triumphs over Earth, Sea, Fire, and Air. Mixed-Media painting from Art Chateau, c.2014.
