Stanfield was a former sailor who was known for his Romantic seascapes and produced a larger, more turbulent depiction of the view for his 1830 breakthrough work Mount St Michael, Cornwall. The work was commissioned by Victoria who gave it as a Christmas Present to Albert. It was recorded as hanging in the Prince's Consort's apartments at Windsor Castle in 1878 and remains in the Royal Collection.https://www.rct.uk/collection/400042/the-royal-yacht-passing-st-michaels-mount In 1855 a engraving based on the painting was produced by Robert Wallis for the The Art Journal.Van der Merwe & Took p.169
