1588 Alonzo Anglo Armada Arrows Bows Effingham Engaging Howard Melee Leyva
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the intensity and chaos of the historic clash between English and Spanish forces during the famous Battle of Gravelines, a key moment in the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. The print, titled "Lord Howard, Earl of Nottingham and Admiral of England, on board the Ark Royal, engaging the ship of Don Alonzo da Leyva, Master of the Spanish Fleet," offers a vivid depiction of the melee that took place on July 29, 1588. At the forefront of the scene is Lord Howard of Effingham (1547-1604), the English naval commander, who stands tall and resolute on the deck of the Ark Royal. He is shown in the act of engaging Don Alonzo da Leyva (d. 1588), the Spanish master of the fleet, in a hand-to-hand combat. The two commanders, both dressed in full armor, are locked in a fierce struggle, their weapons clashing in the air. Surrounding them, the decks of the ships are filled with sailors, marines, and soldiers, all engaged in a frenzied battle. Arrows fly through the air, while bows are drawn and fired. The ships themselves are a chaotic scene, with rigging torn and sails billowing in the wind. This print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique and captivating glimpse into the events of the Spanish Armada, a pivotal moment in Anglo-Spanish relations and European history. The defeat of the Spanish Armada marked a turning point in England's emergence as a major European power and helped to secure its independence from Spanish influence. This powerful and evocative image serves as a testament to the bravery and determination of the men who fought in this historic battle, and to the enduring legacy of their victory.
