Nicola F. Crescimanno (Italian, active late 19th Century)

HMS Serapis in Malta
signed and dated 'Crino_1876.' (lower left)
oil on panel
27.5 x 44cm (10 3/4 x 17 1/4in).

Footnotes

In September 1875 HMS Serapis transported the Prince and Princess of Wales and their retinue to India to celebrate Queen Victoria's appointment as Empress of India. They stopped in Malta twice, once on route to India from the 7-12 October 1875 and again on the return journey from 6-11 April 1876. Given the date of the work it is likely that the painting depicts Serapis on its second visit to Malta.
