Robert Cleveley painted the sea in watercolour during the late 1700s and early 1800s, when Britain ruled the waves and artists flocked to its docks for drama. His English Ships of War, one firing a salute shows battleships dwarfing the sky, while Seapiece with Shipping drifts past merchant hulls and billowing sails. Look for the spray on the rigging and the precise flags. Swipe to see more of his English Ships of War.
