466028 Captain Lord Robert Manners (oil on canvas) by Reynolds, Joshua (1723-92); Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire, UK; (add.info.: Captain Lord Robert Manners (6 February 1758 - 23 April 1782) was an officer of the Royal Navy and nobleman, the second son of John Manners, Marquess of Granby and Lady Frances Seymour. At the Battle of the Saintes (12 April 1782), Resolution was in the centre of the line and saw heavy action. During the battle, one of Manners arms was broken, and both legs wounded, one so severely as to require amputation. Being of a strong constitution, it was hoped he might survive, and he was sent back to England aboard the frigate Andromache. However, tetanus set in, and he died on 23 April 1782 and was buried at sea.); English, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print showcases Captain Lord Robert Manners, a distinguished officer of the Royal Navy and nobleman. Painted by Joshua Reynolds, this portrait captures the essence of Captain Manners' aristocratic stature and naval prowess. Standing tall in his traditional navy uniform, with one hand confidently placed on his hip, he exudes an air of authority and command. The painting is set against a scenic backdrop, depicting a serene seascape that symbolizes Captain Manners' dedication to maritime service. His blue coat and breeches are impeccably tailored, reflecting his high social status within Georgian society. The attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke - from the intricate lace detailing on his cuffs to the fine stockings adorning his legs.

At the Battle of Saintes in 1782, he displayed immense bravery despite suffering severe injuries that ultimately led to his untimely demise at just 24 years old. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of both his noble lineage and sacrifice for king and country.
