John the younger Cleveley
John the younger Cleveley is a Rococo painting artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
John the younger Cleveley painted ships, harbors, and Arctic ice the way others painted portraits, with careful lines and soft watercolors. His "River with Shipping" shows busy docks alive with boats, while "The ships 'Race-horse' and 'Carcass' embedded in ice" captures explorers frozen in the polar seas. He worked in the 1770s and 1780s, when British naval power was on the rise. Tap "The ships 'Race-horse' and 'Carcass'" to see how adventure and art met on the ice.
