EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait print captures the distinguished Lieutenant Henry Fortescue in all his naval glory. Painted by John E. Ferneley in 1824, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Fortescue standing proudly on a beach, dressed in his lieutenant's undress coat and blue trousers. With a telescope in hand and one glove resting on an anchor fluke, Fortescue exudes confidence and authority.
Fortescue's impressive naval career is reflected in this portrait, as he entered the Navy in 1811 and served aboard the 'Minden', 74 guns, during the bombardment of Algiers in 1816. Despite being promoted to lieutenant in 1823, Fortescue never actively served at sea again.
The attention to detail in this painting is remarkable, from the intricate folds of Fortescue's uniform to the small schooner visible in the background. Signed by Ferneley himself, this piece is a testament to both artist skill and historical significance.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this portrait serves as a timeless reminder of Lieutenant Henry Fortescue's dedication to his country and his service within the Royal Navy. It stands as a tribute to a man whose legacy lives on through art and history.
