Francis Holman

Francis Holman (c.1729 - 1790) was active/lived in United Kingdom.  Francis Holman is known for Painting.

The son of a master mariner, Francis Holman was born in Ramsgate in 1729. His younger brother, Captain John Holman (1733-1816), ran the family shipping business, so Holman was immersed in the maritime world from a young age. His early works were mostly portraits of ships commissioned by their captains, but later on he turned his attention to painting ships of the Royal Navy. Known to history for being the teacher of the maritime artist, Thomas Luny (1759-1837), his unerring attention to detail and knowledge of the subject have left us with a valuable record of eighteenth century maritime life. The artist passed away in 1790.
