Roberts, D. Captain RN is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Captain Roberts painted watercolours of Ottoman ports in the 1820s–30s, recording harbours, mosques and domes with a sailor’s eye for angles and light. In View of Seraglio Point from the Mosque at Scutary you can trace the sweep of the Golden Horn from a minaret’s stone platform. Next, tap into the same seaport with another Roberts watercolour, View of Constantinople from Therapia Point.
