A escola americana

Matthew Pratt American
1765
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 717
Ao chegar a Londres em 1764, Pratt foi recebido por seu compatriota Benjamin West, um pouco mais jovem do que ele, mas já fazendo sucesso em sua promissora carreira. Nesta composição informal, em que vemos West lecionando para um grupo de jovens artistas, Pratt explora a tradição acadêmica europeia interpretada pelos norte-americanos em Londres no final do século XVIII. A pintura foi exibida em 1766 sob o título A escola americana. West, em pé à esquerda, corrige os desenhos de seus alunos. Pratt é o homem sentado diante do cavalete, representado como um retratista de sucesso.
