EDITORS COMMENTS
The intense naval battle depicted in this stunning oil on canvas print captures the desperation and chaos of a clash between English and French frigates on October 6, 1779. The ships 'Quebec' and 'Supervisante' are locked in combat manoeuvres, with cannons firing and sails billowing in the wind.
Robert Dodd's masterful brushwork brings to life the tension of the moment as these two mighty vessels engage in a fierce struggle for supremacy on the high seas. The English ship is adorned with Union Jack flags fluttering proudly, while the French ship displays its tricolor flag defiantly.
As smoke fills the air and waves crash against their hulls, it is clear that both crews are fighting with all their might to emerge victorious from this deadly confrontation. The water churns around them as they maneuver for position, each seeking to gain an advantage over their opponent.
This dramatic scene serves as a reminder of the bravery and skill required to navigate such treacherous waters during times of conflict. It is a testament to the courage of sailors who risked everything in pursuit of victory, even when faced with overwhelming odds.
