Lot Essay

A marine painter central to the development of the genre, Serres came to Britain as a prisoner of war in 1745, and made his home in England after his release. In 1786 he visited the western Mediterranean, including Gibraltar, and submitted a painting to the Royal Academy that year entitled View of Europa Point, Gibraltar, no. 161.
