About the piece
Painted in 1782 by Dominic Serres, this masterwork of marine art captures the impressive scale of the Foudroyant and Pégase as they navigate into Portsmouth Harbour. The composition demonstrates Serres' technical precision in rendering complex rigging and naval architecture, set against a luminous, atmospheric sky and active harbor life.
