Summary
| Description |
English: The arrival of HMS Dorset, the royal yacht at the disposal of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in the Bay of Dublin. The yacht flies the Union flag at its mast head, indicating that the Lord Lieutenant may be on board. The 18th-century landmark of Poolbeg lighthouse, situated at the end of the North Bull wall of the Bay, is on the right. It is likely that Serres painted this work as a result of his visit to Ireland between 1787-88 and used it in his bid to acquire the royal position of Marine Painter to H.R.H. the Duke of Clarence which he was granted in 1789. The painting, dated 1788, was probably executed as a result of Serres’ trip to Ireland between 1787-88. In all likelihood it derives from a drawing, dated 1787, in the National Maritime Museum (The Dorset yacht leaving Dublin harbour, PAG9727). In contrast to the V&A work, this shows the Dorset heading out of port. Possible correct title: HMY Dorset |
