Notes
While another work by Dinsdale, Action off Belfast Lough, involves a British ship called the HMS Brilliant , Chase of the Brilliant involves that ship’s successor built in 1779. She saw action in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. This particular scene takes place on July 26, 1798. Two French frigates, the Vertu and the Régénérée, are sailing from the Canary Islands to Rochefort, on France’s western coast, when they are intercepted by the Brilliant . The French give chase, pursuing the British ship just off the island of Tenerife. The Brilliant was able to evade the French guns, while the Vertu and Régénérée eventually returned to Tenerife.
BIOGRAPHY

John Bentham-Dinsdale was a British maritime painter. Originally going to school for architecture, he first served as a commissioned officer in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, then worked in theater. He designed scenery for several West End theaters before moving into television. He was an assistant designer for Associated Television before becoming head of design and construction for Tyne Tees Television in Newcastle. Though painting had been more of a hobby for most of his life, Dinsdale moved back to his native Yorkshire to pursue painting full-time. He soon became known as a maritime painter, showing clipper ships on the high seas and scenes from naval history. He helped found the British Sea Painters Group in 1970, then had his first solo exhibition in London in 1974. Dinsdale’s work became popular partly because of his attention to detail. His vast library relating to marine history allowed him to accurately portray specific ships at specific moments in their lives. However, his skill did not solely lay in his vessels but in the countless ways that the ocean itself often appears on his canvases.
