Description |
English: Captain Sir John Jervis, 1735-1823 A head-and-shoulders portrait to left wearing captain's, over three years, full-dress uniform, 1774-87. He is wearing the Ribbon of the Bath. This unfinished sketch was painted between 1782 and 1787 for a finishes version which is not currently known. In 1759, Jervis served at the capture of Quebec, and was at the Battle of Ushant in 1778 in command of the 'Foudroyant', 80 guns. He was also present at the reliefs of Gibraltar between 1780 and 1782. Jervis defeated the Spanish off Cape St Vincent, 1797, and in 1799, commanded the Channel fleet during which time he maintained a strict blockade of Brest. He imposed a rigorous but fair discipline of the fleet, and as First Lord of the Admiralty, he succeeded in combatting inefficiency and corruption in the administration of the Navy. Stuart was an American painter who was also active in England and Ireland. He was in London from 1775 until 1787, where early in 1775, he entered the studio of Benjamin West, 1738-1820, for whom he painted drapery and finished portraits. Stuart exhibited for the first time at the Royal Academy in the spring of 1787. He maintained an expensive London establishment, and had considerable success as a fashionable portrait painter to both English and American sitters who found themselves in London. However, in 1787, Stuart fled to Dublin-almost certainly to escape his creditors-and where he remained for five years. In the spring of 1793, he returned to America, leaving behind scores of unfinished canvases. He subsequently lived and worked in New York, and then Philadelphia, where George Washington posed for him during 1795. He moved to Boston in 1805 where he remained for the rest of his life, both painting and advising fellow artists. |
