Relief of Gibraltar by Lord Howe, Oct 11 1782 Panoramic view of the Fleet with portraits either end of Admirals Howe and Barrington
Print. The Serres painting formed the 'predella' originally exhibited below Copley's huge 'Siege of Gibraltar' (completed in 1791) now in the Guildhall Museum, London, though the Serres canvas no longer survives. The two flanking images of Howe and Barrington are both from circular format paintings by Copley (the former thought to be that in the NMM) which were also exhibited in the same relative positions with the Copley 'Siege' on its completion.
