The captivating print showcases the magnificent altarpiece of the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul in the Queen Mary Block at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London. Painted by Benjamin West, a renowned artist from the 18th century, this masterpiece depicts a pivotal moment in history - "St. Paul Saved From a Shipwreck off Malta". In this awe-inspiring scene, we witness St. Paul's miraculous deliverance from treacherous waters and imminent danger. Shipwrecked with fellow prisoners on their way to Rome, they find themselves stranded near an island cliff amidst a raging storm. However, hope emerges as islanders light bonfires to welcome them ashore. As if touched by divine intervention, St. Paul survives not only the shipwreck but also an encounter with a venomous snake that bites him while he gathers sticks for firewood on land. Undeterred by adversity, he remains unharmed as his faith prevails over peril. This powerful portrayal captures both the dramatic elements of nature's fury and the triumph of human spirit against all odds. It serves as a testament to courage and resilience even in times of great turmoil. Displayed within the naval college chapel setting, this artwork resonates deeply with those who understand both physical and metaphorical storms faced by sailors throughout history. It stands as an enduring symbol of protection and guidance sought by seafarers during their perilous journeys across tumultuous seas. James Brittain expertly captures every intricate
