WHITCOMBE, THOMAS

Thomas Whitcombe was the leading painter of the French Revolutionary wars and painted over 150 actions of the English fleet including fifty plates for The Naval Achievements of Great Britain, a splendid volume issued after the cessation of hostilities. The quartet of marine painters to whom we owe so much for the visual documentation of this dramatic period of history (Pocock, Luny, Dodd and Whitcombe) between them produced some exceptional work of the highest standard, a great deal of which is to be found in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, and in naval collections around the world.
