In fact West transformed the whole art of historical painting in 1770 by insisting that he would paint the death of General Wolfe at Quebec in the costumes and landscape in which it actually occurred, thus overturning the tradition that no hero could ever die except in the robes of ancient Greece, preferably with a temple or two in the background.
