EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dutch fleet in the Medway, from Old England's Worthies by Lord Brougham, captures a pivotal moment in history with its dramatic depiction of the burning of Sheerness during the Battle of Medway. Published in London during the 1880s, this lithographic print showcases an English School masterpiece that has now found its place in a private collection. The scene unfolds on the River Medway as ships engage in a fierce naval battle amidst billowing smoke and raging flames. The Dutch victory is evident as their fleet dominates the waters, symbolizing their triumph over British forces during the Second Anglo-Dutch War. This decisive event brought an end to hostilities between these two powerful nations. The artist skillfully portrays both chaos and precision with meticulous attention to detail. Rowing boats navigate through treacherous currents while brave sailors fight valiantly against overwhelming odds. The English coast serves as a backdrop, emphasizing the vulnerability of Britain's shores under attack. This historic image not only commemorates a significant military defeat but also highlights the enduring power of art to capture moments that shape our collective memory. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to June 1667 when fire consumed Sheerness and forever altered maritime history. Courtesy of Fine Art Finder via www. bridgemanimages. com.
