Created in 1831 by H Robinson and Sir Joshua Reynolds, this portrait captures the essence of a man who played a significant role in history. Viscount Hood's legacy is deeply intertwined with the American War of Independence. Born in 1724 and passing away in 1816, he fought valiantly during this tumultuous period that saw Britain clash with its rebellious colonies across the Atlantic. His unwavering dedication to his country and naval expertise earned him the title of admiral.
