Sir James Wishart, late 17th to early 18th century (oil painting)
7338083 Sir James Wishart, late 17th to early 18th century (oil painting) by Dahl, Michael (1656-1743); 127x101.6 cm; National Maritime Museum, London, UK; (add.info.: Creator: Michael Dahl
A three-quarter length portrait of Wishart. He wears a light brown coat lined with pink silk and a waistcoat with gold buttons. He has a pink sash round his waist, wears a grey full bottom wig and carries a drawn sword in his right hand. He stands on a rocky shore with a naval battle taking place in the left background. He commanded the Oxford at Barfleur in 1692 and the Eagle at Cadiz and Vigo Bay in 1702. He was flag captain to Sir George Rooke in 1695, in 1703-1704 at Malaga and again at the taking of Gibraltar. He was a member of Prince George's Council and was appointed Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean in 1713. Following the death of Queen Anne, however, he was summarily dismissed. The battle scene in the left background of the portrait was probably painted by the studio of Willem van de Velde the younger, either by his son Cornelis or perhaps J. van de Hagen. The portrait was presented to the Greenwich Hospital Collection by George IV in 1824.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting captures the essence of Sir James Wishart, a distinguished naval officer from the late 17th to early 18th century. Standing proudly on a rocky shore, Wishart is depicted in a light brown coat lined with pink silk, exuding an air of authority and elegance. His grey full bottom wig and pink sash add to his commanding presence, while he holds a drawn sword in his right hand.
In the background, a fierce naval battle unfolds, showcasing Wishart's involvement in key historical events such as the battles at Barfleur in 1692 and Cadiz and Vigo Bay in 1702. Known for his leadership skills and strategic prowess, Wishart served as flag captain to Sir George Rooke and was appointed Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean in 1713.
Despite his impressive military career, Wishart faced setbacks following the death of Queen Anne and was dismissed from his position. The intricate details of this portrait speak volumes about Wishart's legacy as a respected figure within the British Navy.
Presented to the Greenwich Hospital Collection by King George IV in 1824, this painting serves as a timeless tribute to Sir James Wishart's contributions to maritime history.
