EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century oil painting depicts the aftermath of the Dutch Raid on the Medway in 1667. The event took place during the Second Anglo-Dutch War and is considered a significant naval defeat for the English, with the Royal Navy suffering heavy losses. In the painting, black smoke rises from the burning wreckage of HMS Royal Charles, the flagship of King Charles II of England, which lies defeated in the river Medway in Chatham, Kent, England. Dutch flags fly triumphantly on the masts of the invading fleet, while English sailors, some in despair and others in defiance, gather on the shore. The scene is filled with a sense of conflict and chaos, with boats rowing to and fro and men shouting orders. The painting, created around 1670, is a testament to the historical significance of this naval battle and the impact it had on Anglo-Dutch relations. The use of color and light adds depth and texture to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historic art or maritime history.
