The Battle of Trafalgar | Konstantinos Volanakis | 19th Century

Towering sails overlap above a close grouping of warships, their dark hulls riding a sharply moving sea. Volanakis brings the encounter near to the viewer: the broad stern at the right, the crossing yards and the small foreground boat establish the immense scale of the vessels. Pale gold light catches the canvas while smoke softens the ships further away. The composition turns the battle into a study of mass, movement and the fragile spaces between enormous wooden hulls.
