Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
No single artist contributed more to recording the naval side of the French revolutionary wars than Thomas Whitcombe. His output was vast, including fifty paintings for plates in "Naval Achievements of Great Britain", published after the wars and at least one hundred additional paintings for wartime engravings.
Born in London around 1752, little is known about Whitcombe's background or artistic education. He exhibited numerous works between 1783 and 1824 at the Royal Academy, the British (showing 500 of 1094 characters). |
