About the Item
John Thomas Serres 1759-1825 was an English maritime painter who enjoyed significant success, including exhibiting extensively at the Royal Academy, and was for a time Maritime Painter to King George III. This painting is oil on canvas laid down on board and depicts the engagement of the ship the Sartine with ships of Hyder Ali Rajah of Madras in 1780. The HMS Sartine was a French merchant vessel from Bordeaux. The French Navy pressed her into service on 3 August 1778 to assist in the defense of Pondichéry. The British captured her during the Siege of Pondichéry, and took her into service under her existing name. HMS Sartine foundered in action off Calcutta in November 1780. The upper left hand quadrant shows a rocket trail from a bomb bursting in air. Original gold gilt wooden frame.

- English Georgian Thomas Luny Original Oil "Retrieving the Grog before the Storm"By Thomas LunyLocated in Wells, MEEnglish original oil painting on canvas "Retrieving the Grog Before the Storm"; signed lower left: Thomas LUNY; and indistinctly dated--only a "2" is discernable. This dramatic painting depicts ships outward bound while smugglers in the foreground heave their small boat to shore while others roll a barrel of grog to safety. The sea is building while the white cliffs and stone fortress at the entrance to a harbor stand firm against the impending storm. This is quintessential Luny, displaying his deft handling of the ocean and the exposition of coastal life in the early 19th century. We have had this painting cleaned, rebacked and restored by Northeast Painting Conservation, York, Maine. Thomas Luny (1759-1837), was born in Cornwall but moved to London at an early age and was raised there by his parents, Thomas and Elizabeth. Thomas' father is thought to have been employed in some activity at the London Docks and from thence the younger Thomas was exposed to the maritime world from an early age. He is thought to have been apprenticed to the London artist Francis Holman...Category
