Firing the Salute

About the Item

Oil on canvas Image size: 19 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches (49 x 39.5 cm) Original frame This is a a wonderful marine scene depicting a flotilla of battleships, warships and Admiralty yachts. Fishermen gathering their catch near to the shore and a rowing boat with sailors on board can also be seen at the centre of the work. The painting beautifully depicts one of the large vessels, that flies a Royal coat-of-arms on the stern, firing a salute in the tranquil waters. The artist's accuracy and exceptionally careful attention to detail manifests his intimate knowledge of maritime practice and naval architecture (such as the sails and rigging), as well as his remarkably close observation of the ocean conditions of wave and wind. This scene could be a generalised depiction of different types of ship, rather than a documentary representation of particular places or events.
