Benjamin Franklin Drawing Electricity from the Sky by Benjamin West. Benjamin Franklin raises a conductor toward lightning above a dramatic sky. Hand-painted in oil on canvas.
Description
Description
A seated Benjamin Franklin raises a key or metal rod toward a dark, stormy sky, with a kite and clouds above. A small cherub-like figure appears nearby, while papers and scientific objects rest around the chair. The dramatic scene brings a scientific experiment into a theatrical setting. The emphasis shifts from lifted hand to papers and scientific objects across the scene. From lifted hand to papers and scientific objects, the scene shifts. A visual link joins lifted hand to papers and scientific objects, keeping both in view.
About Benjamin Franklin Drawing Electricity from the Sky Reproduction
The dark background contrasts with warmly lit face of the Franklin, hands and clothing. A bright streak of lightning and pale cloud draw attention overhead, while the raised arm links the seated figure to the sky. Red-brown drapery and a pale cloth add colour around him. Together, lifted hand and papers and scientific objects make the relation clear. The relation of lifted hand to papers and scientific objects keeps the setting involved.
The composition balances portraiture with action: concentrated gesture of the Franklin is the focal point, and the weather provides a dramatic counterpart. Objects near the chair suggest careful observation and experiment. The arrangement ties lifted hand to papers and scientific objects without losing the open setting.
