EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait captured in this print showcases Sir George Pocock, a renowned naval Admiral of the 18th century. Painted by Thomas Hudson in 1760, the oil on canvas artwork is now housed at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, Hampshire. Sir George Pocock was not only distinguished for his impressive military achievements but also for his familial ties to Admiral George Byng. As a nephew to such an esteemed figure, he had large shoes to fill and did so with great success. His notable accomplishments include receiving the prestigious Order of the Bath and leading a victorious campaign in Havana in 1762. In this three-quarter length portrait, Sir George Pocock exudes confidence and authority befitting his rank as captain. The painting's composition is enhanced by an ominous sky that adds drama and intensity to the scene. This print offers viewers a glimpse into Georgian-era naval history while capturing the essence of Sir George Pocock's character. It serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to British maritime power during times of war. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, it is important to note that its historical significance allows us access into our past without any commercial intentions or restrictions on usage rights.
