EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and dramatic scene of the "Destruction of the Danish Fleet before Copenhagen" on April 2nd, 1801. Engraved by Thomas Sutherland for J. Jenkinss Naval Achievements in 1816, this coloured engraving by Thomas Whitcombe is a true masterpiece that showcases the artist's exceptional talent. The image depicts a chaotic battle at sea, with billowing smoke engulfing the navy ships as they engage in fierce combat. The Danish fleet finds itself under attack, their flags flying high amidst the chaos. Flames rise from one of the vessels, symbolizing destruction and impending defeat. In this momentous victory for Admiral Nelson and his forces, every detail is meticulously captured - from the intricately designed sails to the towering masts that stand tall against an ominous sky. The sheer power and determination of both sides are palpable through Whitcombe's skillful brushstrokes. As we gaze upon this historic engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal event in naval history. It serves as a reminder of bravery and sacrifice while showcasing humanity's unyielding spirit during times of conflict. This print is not just an artwork; it is a testament to our collective past and an homage to those who fought valiantly for victory on that fateful day over two centuries ago.
