	Portrait of Captain James Cook RN 1728-1779
		The first two paintings are in the National Portrait Gallery, London, and the National Art Gallery, Wellington.
		Webber's 1782 portrait is one of five known surviving portraits of Cook painted in the eighteenth century, and until it was acquired by the National Portrait Gallery, it was the only one outside a major gallery or museum.
		While landscape settings, too, were common in eighteenth century portraits, the stormy background in the Cook portrait has particular resonance, for it reminds us that he lived and died trying to disclose the potential of the sea and the sky to the wider world.

		In John Boydell's gallery, Benjamin West (1738–1820) and his work were everywhere the visitor looked.
