British Napoleonic Wars Nautical Maritime Ship Galleon Seascape Oil Painting 51"

About the Item

A large and impressive nautical maritime seascape oil painting on canvas depicting The Action of 21 April 1806, After Pierre-Julien Gilbert. The painting showcases a choppy ocean battle scene with a British & French Galleon. Features an ornate baroque gold high relief frame with Neoclassical designs of scrolled acanthus, fleur de lis and shell and cartouche. The action of 21 April 1806 was a minor engagement between a French frigate and British forces off South Africa during the Napoleonic Wars. The Île Bonaparte and Île de France constituted French outposts in the Indian Ocean, from which privateers and frigate squadrons could engage in commerce raiding and disrupt British shipping. After encountering a strongly escorted British convoy, the 40-gun Cannonière attempted to flee, but was rejoined by the 74-gun HMS Tremendous. In the ensuing battle, Captain Bourayne displayed superior sailmanship and managed to fend off his much stronger opponent by a combination of manoeuvers that rendered the batteries of Tremendous ineffective, and threatened her with sustaining raking fire. The French frigate thus managed to evade and escape. Dimensions: 50.5" x 5" x 38.5" / Sans Frame - 35.5" x 23.5" (Width x Depth x Height)
