"An Italian Harbour with a Genoese Chebec at Anchor" is a marine painting by the British artist John Thomas Serres (1759–1825), who was known for his detailed and atmospheric seascapes. The work is a fine example of Serres's skill in capturing the interplay of light on water and the bustling activity of port life in the late 18th to early 19th century. The painting depicts a serene harbor scene with a Genoese chebec—a type of fast-sailing three-masted vessel used in the Mediterranean—anchored prominently in the foreground. The chebec's distinctive lateen sails and sleek hull design are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting Serres's interest in maritime subjects and his experience as a marine artist.

The composition likely reflects Serres's travels and his exposure to Mediterranean ports, as well as his role as a marine draughtsman to King George III. The painting is set against a backdrop of an Italian coastline, possibly inspired by the artist's own observations or by popular travel accounts of the time. The work captures the essence of the era's naval architecture and the vibrant trade that characterized Mediterranean harbors.

John Thomas Serres's artistic legacy includes his role as a dominant figure in British marine painting, succeeding his father Dominic Serres. "An Italian Harbour with a Genoese Chebec at Anchor" contributes to the visual record of maritime history and offers insight into the commercial and naval activities that were central to the Mediterranean economy during the period. The painting is a testament to Serres's ability to blend technical accuracy with artistic flair, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and maritime enthusiasts.
