If you are one of those who got the digital New York Times subscription as soon as the pandemic and the lockdown left you craving information -- or even if you've been a lifer there -- you may have noticed the Times' current story/display about Benjamin West's painting "The Death of Wolfe" (paywalled, I've no doubt).
The analysis may be somewhat familiar to anyone who's taken a Canadian art history class. But the Times package is still a pretty impressive demonstration of what online media can turn a newspaper story into: a collage of text and images that just flows up your screen.
As far as I know, there's no particular hook or anniversary or current analogy behind the story; they just felt like doing it, I guess. A little CanHist, done up elegantly in the Big Apple.
