James Clark Ross war Vater eines Kindes namens James Coulman Ross.
James Clark Ross war ein britischer Entdecker und Seefahrer, der am 15. April 1800 in London geboren wurde und am 3. April 1862 bei Aylesbury verstarb. Beeinflusst durch seinen Onkel John Ross, der in den Napoleonischen Kriegen diente, trat er bereits mit zwölf Jahren der Royal Navy bei. Unter der Förderung seines Onkels wurde er schnell befördert und nahm 1818 als Midshipman an dessen Expedition zur Suche nach der Nordwestpassage teil. Auch nach dem eingeschränkten Erfolg dieser Unternehmung beteiligte sich Ross von 1819 bis 1825 an weiteren Polarexpeditionen unter William Edward Parry. Er zeichnete sich durch seine Fähigkeiten, wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen und Schlittenerkundungen aus. Für seine Leistungen wurde er zum Lieutenant befördert und freundete sich mit Francis Crozier an. 1827 nahm er an einer weiteren Expedition unter Parry teil, die den Nordpol erreichen sollte, jedoch scheiterte. Nach seiner Rückkehr wurde Ross zum Commander befördert. 1829 begleitete Ross seinen Onkel auf einer weiteren Nordpol-Expedition, bei der er 1831 den nördlichen Magnetpol entdeckte. Nach der Rückkehr im Jahr 1834 wurde er zum Post-Captain ernannt. Als 1835 Berichte über im Eis eingeschlossene Walfangboote eintrafen, organisierte Ross eine Rettungsexpedition, die die Walfänger rettete, obwohl diese sich schon selbst befreit hatten. 1839 startete Ross mit den Schiffen Erebus und Terror zu einer Antarktisexpedition, wobei Francis Crozier sein Stellvertreter war. 1841 entdeckte er das Süd-Victorialand und benannte zwei Vulkane auf der Ross-Insel nach seinen Schiffen. Er drang bis zu einem neuen südlichsten Punkt vor, musste aber vor einer riesigen Eiswand umkehren. Nach weiteren Erkundungen kehrte Ross 1843 nach England zurück und wurde 1844 zum Ritter geschlagen. 1848 suchte Ross mit den Schiffen Enterprise und Investigator nach der verschollenen Franklin-Expedition. 1856 wurde Ross zum Rear-Admiral befördert.

Commander James Clark Ross, 1800-62
A three-quarter-length portrait slightly to left, head turned to right. Ross looks towards the right and directs his gaze out of the picture space. Although the insignia on the epaulettes is obscured so that his rank is not clear from the uniform, the early 1834 exhibition date and title of the painting confirms he is shown as a commander, since he was only promoted to captain in October that year. Draped over his left shoulder he wears a bear's skin. In his right hand he holds a sheathed sword by its scabbard across his front. The Pole Star shines in the sky top right and in the lower right corner of the painting a magnetic dip-circle sits on a table. Most of the background is either dark sky or the inhospitable rocky terrain of the Canadian Arctic.
This highly romanticized portrayal marks Ross's return from an expedition Arctic in 1829-33. During this voyage, he and his uncle, Sir John Ross, discovered the north magnetic pole, at that time located west of the Boothia Peninsula. In 1839-43, Ross commanded the 'Erebus' and 'Terror' on one of the earliest Antarctic expeditions and was knighted on his return.
The artist has paid considerable attention to detail and concentrated on the luxurious tactile quality of the fur and uniform. He has intentionally highlighted the gold on Ross's braid, the ring on his finger, the brilliance of the star, the gleaming dip-circle, and the tassels, buttons, epaulettes and sword. He has foregrounded the texture of the fur in contrast to the black sky and icy background. Man has tamed nature, symbolized by the bearskin and scientific instrument. Jane, Lady Franklin, who knew Ross well, called him 'the handsomest man in the Navy', to which view this portrait lends much support.
The artist was born in Hackney and set up in practice as a portrait painter in London. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1823-39. This portrait was exhibited at the (Royal) Society of British Artists in 1834 as 'Commander James Clark Ross, R.N., F.R.S., F.R.A.S., F.L.S., etc., Discoverer of the North Pole'. The Museum also has copies of the mezzotint made from it by R. M. Hodgetts and published by Colnaghi in 1835. The painting is signed 'J R Wildman'.
