Sir Samuel Hood’s Engagement off Rochefort | John Heaviside Clark and Joseph R. Hamble | 1807
Taxes incluses
Tall ships move across a gently swelling sea beneath an expansive, softly illuminated sky. The closely grouped hulls and crossing lines of rigging give the scene its structure, while boats and distant sails suggest the activity surrounding the captured vessels. This aquatint records the aftermath of Sir Samuel Hood’s action off Rochefort in September 1806, showing Monarch with the French prizes Minerve and Armide. Its measured arrangement presents the outcome of battle through the ordered movement of ships rather than the violence of the engagement.
