NOTES:
[1] According to a signed attestation by William Gerrard (June 22, 1902), his father was stationed in the Mediterranean in 1823/24, during the Greek War of Independence, and removed a group of paintings (MFA accession nos. RES.25.14 - 17) from a "dismantled church" on Psara. The island was invaded by Ottoman Turks in 1824 and largely destroyed, its population killed or sold into slavery.
