Offers a fresh consideration of the image of the sea in British visual culture during a critical period for both the rise of the visual arts in Britain and the expansion of the nation's imperial power. This work begins in the year 1768, which marks the foundation of the Royal Academy and the launch of Captain Cook's first circumnavigation.
