225 Battle of Camperdown—Lord Duncan’s Victory (1053). [See Companion Piece, No. 223.] . . . . . J. T. Serres.
The English fleet is ranged in three lines about to begin the action by breaking the line of the enemy ranged beyond them. The enemy have already opened fire. On canvas, 3 ft. high, by 4 ft. wide. Signed, “J. T. Serres, 1793.”
John Thomas Serres was the son of Dominic Serres, who brought him up as a marine painter. In the year in which this picture was painted he succeeded, on his father’s death, to the office of marine painter to the King, and one of his duties in this post was to make sketches of the harbours on the enemy’s coast. He married the soi-disant Princess Olive of Cumberland, who lost him his appointment, and brought him to misery, destitution, imprisonment, and madness. (Redgrave’s Dict. of Artists.)
