Francis Swaine

1720-1783,English painter and draughtsman. He worked as a messenger for a department of His Majesty's Navy in 1735 and seems to have been practising as a marine painter by the late 1740s, but there is little trace of his place in London's art world until his regular contributions from 1761 to the exhibitions of both the Free and Incorporated Societies of Artists. He was awarded the Society for the Encouragement of Arts' second prize for sea-pieces in 1764 and again in 1765. 'About the year 1770', reported Edwards, 'he painted the face of a wind-dial, with sea and ships, which he executed with a great neatness'   Related Paintings of Francis Swaine :. | A drawing of a small British Sixth-rate warship in two positions | A yacht and a small man-o-war in a calm river near a church | A drawing of a British two-decker off Calshot Castle | A royal yacht and a merchantman in choppy seas | Small craft at sea in a stiff breeze |
