The Battle of Zealand Point | A. G. Gross | 19th Century

Dark hulls and a forest of bare spars surround a brilliant concentration of gunfire on the water. Gross sets the action beneath a heavy blue-grey sky, using the warm flashes between the ships to draw the eye into the crowded formation. The scene recalls the fighting off Zealand Point in March 1808, when the Danish ship Prinds Christian Frederik confronted British warships. Its subdued colouring gives particular force to the light reflected across the disturbed sea.
