Drawings and paintings of battles on the high seas were the speciality of the British artist Nicholas Pocock. But landscape paintings were also part of his extensive artistic work. Pocock's father was a merchant and sailor. In 1757, the son went to his father for training. During this time the two of them went to sea together. This is probably the reason for Nicholas Pocock's enthusiasm for maritime motifs. The father died two years later. The heavy blow of fate put the later artist off his path for the time being. From then on, as the eldest son, he had to help provide for the family income. He worked for a merchant on one of his ships and travelled to South Carolina, among other places. The time on the high seas was not very eventful. So Pocock easily found the time to draw. Some of his works from this time were later published as illustrations in a shipping magazine. His employer also appreciated the artwork of the talented draftsman.
In the course of time Pocock occupied himself with further painting techniques. In 1780 he made the decision to apply to the Royal Academy. He submitted his first oil painting as a reference. Unfortunately, his application including his work arrived too late at the renowned institution. So his studies had to wait a while longer. But fortunately he received a letter from Sir Joshua Reynolds, the president of the Royal Academy of Arts. He recognized Pocock's talent and recommended him to use his artistic talent and to continue his education. Two years later one of his works of art was exhibited for the first time at the Royal Academy. The painting appeared under the title "A View of Redcliff Church from the Sea Banks". His later works of impressive naval battles were also exhibited in the halls of this important art institution.
Nicholas Pocock spent most of his creative period in London, when he was not at sea. He left London in 1817. and moved to live with his eldest son at Maidenhead. Four years later, the British artist died. The burial took place in the family crypt. During his lifetime, Pocock always had a strong connection to the sea, which can be seen in his artistic works. He also kept in touch with dignitaries of the British Navy.
