Nicholas Pocock ‘The Glorious First of June’, Ink, Watercolour on Paper
About the Item
Nicholas Pocock: ‘The Glorious First of June’, ink, grey wash and watercolour on paper showing the battle formation of Admiral Lord Howe’s British fleet and the French under Rear Admiral Villaret de Joyeuse at The Glorious First of June on 1 June 1794. It was customary for each ship to have an artist on board, one of whose duties was to create a visual record of each encounter with the enemy.
Nicholas Pocock, (2 March 1740 – 9 March 1821), followed his father’s profession and was master of a merchant ship by the age of 26. During his time at sea, he became a skilled artist by making ink and wash sketches of ships and coastal scenes for his log books. In 1778 he gave up the sea and devoted himself to painting. The first of his works were exhibited by the Royal Academy in 1782 and he was then commissioned to produce a series of paintings illustrating George Rodney‘s victory at the Battle of the Saintes. In 1789, he moved to London, where his reputation and contacts continued to grow. He was a favourite of Samuel Hood (who commanded Emerald in the Caribbean) and was appointed Marine Painter to King George. He was present at the Battle of the Glorious First of June in 1794, on board the frigate HMS Pegasus. Nicholas Pocock was a member of the O W C S 1740-1821.

A pair of sand pictures by Benjamin Zobel after paintings by de Loutherbourg
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
These extraordinary ‘paintings’ were created using coloured grains of sand rather than paints. Each is after an original painting by Philip James de Loutherbourg. The first scene shows the Battle of Hastings with a central mounted figure, presumably William the Conqueror, with a red plume in his helmet, raising his sword against a fighter on foot. A printed version of this image, shown above, was made by William Bromley. (See the British Museum registration number 1858,1009.115 for a fine impression.) The second scene, composed with a similar central mounted knight with a raised axe (sword in the original) represents Richard the Lionheart in combat against Saladin at the Battle of Acre. In this case the print was made by Anker Smith...
