The Art of the Vessel: A 25-Year Legacy
For over a quarter of a century, Rebecca Grant de Longueuil has moved between the theatrical drama of the stage and the disciplined solitude of the studio. The result is a visual language uniquely suited to the maritime world—a rare intersection of British heritage, French artistic lineage, and two and a half decades of mastery.
The Mastered Synthesis: Engineering Beauty
For the yacht owner, a vessel is more than a machine; it is a masterpiece of engineering and personal vision. Rebecca’s Set Sail process mirrors this, synthesising four distinct disciplines to capture a yacht’s soul:
The Structure of Cubism:
Inherited from her grandfather, Baron Raymond de Longueuil, this provides the architectural “bones” and technical geometry of the hull and rig.

Acquisition & Custom Legacy
Whether you are looking to acquire a piece of contemporary maritime history or immortalise your own vessel, Rebecca offers two distinct pathways:
The Set Sail Collection:
A curated selection of original works and limited editions available for immediate purchase. These pieces represent the pinnacle of her 25-year evolution and are designed to anchor the interior of any luxury residence or yacht saloon.
Bespoke Yacht Commissions:
Rebecca works directly with owners, shipyards, and brokers to produce one-of-a-kind portraits of a specific yacht. This is more than a painting; it is a captured memory of a meaningful voyage and a tribute to a prized possession. Every line and shadow is tailored to the unique character of your vessel, creating a “living” legacy in 24ct gold leaf, silver, and mother of pearl.
From the Pyrenees to the Palace
Rebecca’s artistic DNA was formed in the foothills of the Pyrenees, evolving from a childhood passion into a career marked by international recognition. With exhibitions at Hampton Court Palace and honours from HRH King Charles III through the Prince’s Trust, her work carries a prestige that complements the world’s most exclusive marinas.
The Narrative of the Helm:
Drawing on her celebrated career as an actress (Holby City, Line of Duty), Rebecca infuses her maritime subjects with “theatrical drama.” She does not merely paint ships; she captures the “command at the helm”—the human spirit enduring the storm to reach calmer waters.
