Support x cm
Platemark x cmScope and content:Painting is likely the large work which Paton submitted to the Royal Academy exhibition of 1779. The original work on which the painting was based are on-the-spot sketches by a Midshipman Young who was one of the bording party in the night action. His sketches formed the basis of a smaller painting by Richard Paton (16.5 x 24 in.) painted in 1761 now in the ROM, from which a 1771 engraving was produced, and a painting by Francis Swaine, which are also in the ROM. A copy of the 1771 engraving is in the NA collection. The later painting by Paton (1990-78-1) is a larger and more finished representation of the event originally depicted by Paton in 1761,, and adds details in the foreground not found in either the first version or the engraving.Additional name(s):Additional information:Availability of other formats note:Colour transparency availableExhibitions note:Exhibition Title: The Peter Winkworth Collections of Canadiana: Rocky Shores and Stormy Seas- The Atlantic Region.
