Description
This early 19th century US Scientific History painting titled ‘Benjamin Franklin Drawing Electricity from the Sky’ by Benjamin West features the 1752 experiment in Philadelphia wherein Benjamin Franklin demonstrated that lightning was a form of electricity. West befriended Franklin, a fellow Pennsylvanian, in London but did not render this likeness of the celebrated scientist and American statesman until after his death, creating it to give to Pennsylvania Hospital which Franklin had founded in Philadelphia.
