Description |
The English painter Samuel Scott (1702–1772) specialized in marine painting and views of London. This oil painting relates to events of the Austrian War of Succession, 1740–48, during which the British fleet occupied the Corsican port of Bastia in 1745. In the foreground the English fleet has closed in on the harbour, bombarding the town, which has already caught fire.
