In Like Manner Shall He Descend Mather Brown American Browns conception of the glorified Christ in this drawing appears indebted to those in several paintings of the Ascension executed about 1781-82 and 1800 by his teacher, Benjamin West, with whom he studied in London. Browns draftsman-ship in pen and ink is reflective of Wests, who derived his style from Italian models. Like West, Brown managed an appealing economy and lyricism of line for the flourish of garments and clouds that augments the triumphal subject. The title of the drawing comes from the inscription at the bottom and appears to paraphrase a passage in the Acts of the Apostles (1.11): “Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”..
