About the artist
Exposure to the work of Giovanni Antonio Canal, also known as Canaletto, in 1746, marked a significant turning point in Scott's career, earning him the nickname 'the English Canaletto'. Surprisingly for a marine artist, Scott's personal love for ships didn't translate into seafaring, due to his reputed severe seasickness. Nonetheless, he thrived, gaining substantial support from high-profile patrons such as art historian Horace Walpole and fellow artist William Hogarth. The endorsement of these influential figures further solidified Scott's position within the London art scene.
