The Battle of Lissa | Constantin Volanakis | 1866

The Battle of Lissa, Fought Between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy. Painted in 1866 by Constantin Volanakis (1837–1907)

This dramatic painting captures the chaos of the Battle of Lissa, the decisive naval engagement of the Third Italian War of Independence. Fought on 20 July 1866, the Austro-Hungarian fleet achieved a remarkable victory over the larger Italian navy through bold tactics, including the use of ramming attacks. Volanakis vividly conveys the confusion and violence of the battle, with towering warships, smoke-filled skies, and sailors struggling amid the wreckage, creating a powerful tribute to one of the nineteenth century's most significant naval battles.
