- Reason
- Benjamin West (1738 – 1820) was an Anglo-American painter of historical scenes. Following a loss of royal patronage at the beginning of the 19th century, West began a series of large-scale religious works. The success of the picture led him to paint a series of religious works. After this he became the second president of the Royal Academy in London. He is buried in St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

- Hallo, people - this is one of the very unique and rare and remarkable depiction of this theme - the Exodus 13:21-22 in art!
Do you have any idea how uncommon and rare this depiction is? Show me just three more quality artwork depicting this theme (not crappy Bible cards) and I will take of my hat. And eat it. Hafspajen (talk) 21:13, 29 October 2014 (UTC)21:The Lord was going before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead them on the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. 22:He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

- Added it to Culture, entertainment, and lifestyle/Religion and mythology, because (1) of it's prominent use on Ark of the Covenant and (2) there is no article about the painting. Armbrust The Homunculus 22:39, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
