EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "The Revenge engaging the Spanish fleet off Flores, 1591 (c1900)", showcases a historic naval battle that took place during the 16th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is TM Robinson, who skillfully captures the intensity and bravery of Sir Richard Grenville and his crew aboard the Revenge. In this dramatic scene, we witness the English ship Revenge separated from its fleet, engaged in fierce combat with the powerful Spanish armada. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, Grenville's courageous sailors fight valiantly against their adversaries. The deck of the ship is filled with soldiers dressed in Tudor-era armor and helmets, armed with weapons ranging from crossbows to cannons. The vibrant colors used by Robinson bring life to this historical moment as waves crash against the hulls of both English and Spanish vessels. The wounded can be seen on board as casualties mount amidst a backdrop of smoke-filled skies. This print not only serves as an artistic representation but also pays homage to Tennyson's poem "The Revenge: A Ballad of the Fleet" which immortalizes the bravery displayed by Sir Richard Grenville and his crew during this epic battle. "The Revenge engaging the Spanish fleet off Flores" transports us back in time to witness a pivotal moment in naval warfare history. It reminds us of England's resilience and determination even when faced with overwhelming odds.
