The prose ends with the painting being displayed privately by the artist, yet the infobox has it in a museum. There ought to be at least a sentence explaining the transition. -- J Clear ( talk) 11:39, 25 July 2010 (UTC) reply

The title of this page needs to be changed, as this work is not titled nor known by The Sortie Made by the Garrison of Gibraltar, 1789. It's title is just The Sortie Made by the Garrison of Gibraltar. It's a painting from 1789, showing an event which happened in 1781. The current title of the page is extremely misleading.
