About the artist

No single artist contributed more to recording the naval side of the French revolutionary wars than Thomas Whitcombe. His output was vast, including fifty paintings for plates in "Naval Achievements of Great Britain", published after the wars and at least one hundred additional paintings for wartime engravings. Born in London around 1752, little is known about Whitcombe’s background or artistic education. He exhibited numerous works between 1783 and 1824 at the Royal Academy, the British Institute and the Suffolk Street Gallery. Rated for their artistic merit along with his contemporaries…
