DESCRIPTION: Painted by B. West, Historical painter to His Majesty. Engraved by Theod Falckeysen. <br><br> The engraving was published in London by Woollett, Boydell, and Ryland, on January 1, 1776 after one of Benjamin West's most famous paintings of the same title. The piece was particularly noteworthy, and controversial, because it was the first major painting of a contemporary event to dismiss classical norms - the soldiers are depicted in modern uniforms instead of classical drapery. General Wolfe had been mortally wounded at the Battle of Quebec on September 13, 1759 during the French and Indian War (also known as the Seven Years' War).
