About the Item
A 19th century steel plate engraving depicting the Banishment of Cleombrotus after the original by Benjamin West oil on canvas painting executed in 1768 and held at the Tate Gallery. The engraving is presented with beige matting and a gilded wooden frame.
Benjamin West showed this painting at the second exhibition of the newly formed Royal Academy. After several years in Italy, West had established himself in London as the leading painter of subjects from classical history. His example, and the Academy’s teaching, encouraged numerous young British artists to study in Italy. His subject is an incident from ancient Greek history. Leonidas, king of Sparta, was usurped by his son-in-law, Cleombruotus. When Leonidas returns looking for revenge, his daughter pleads for her husband’s life. Leonidas is moved by her tears, and commutes Cleombrotus’s death sentence to banishment.
