EDITORS COMMENTS
This study by John Singleton Copley, titled "Study for 'The Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar,'" dates back to the late 18th century, around 1783-1786. The artwork is a preparatory drawing for Copley's famous painting of the same name, which depicts the British victory over the Spanish forces during the Siege of Gibraltar. The image showcases a dramatic scene of the aftermath of the battle, with the lifeless bodies of defeated Spanish soldiers scattered across the foreground. The artist masterfully captures the raw emotion and chaos of the moment, with one man in the center, gesturing triumphantly towards the viewer, while others lie still, their fates sealed. The study is executed in pen and brown ink with graphite on laid paper, and the use of contrasting white and black tones adds to the sense of stark reality and intensity. The image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the heroism and determination of those who fought in it. This powerful study is a testament to Copley's exceptional skill as a draftsman and his ability to convey the essence of a scene with remarkable detail and nuance. It is a valuable addition to the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art or the history of the world.
