A large imaginary scene showing the quarter-deck of the Vanguard, viewed from the port side aft and lit by the exploding French ship, L Orient'. On the right Nelson stands in profile looking left, facing the explosion. His head is bandaged and his left foot stands on his discarded shirt lying on the deck next to his hat. His right foot rests on a truck of one of the quarter-deck guns. He gestures with his left arm, ordering the Vanguard's one serviceable boat to be launched to rescue survivors of L'Orient'. To his left, standing on the other side of the gun, is Captain Edward Berry. He looks towards Nelson gesturing in the direction of the L'Orient with both hands. Between them is Lieutenant John Adye and behind him, shielding his eyes from the glare of the explosion, is Midshipman Clement Ives. Behind Nelson in the right of the picture are more figures; left to right, Midshipman the Honourable Granville Proby, Lieutenant Henry Compton, and Edward Gallwey, the Vanguard's first lieutenant, who is preparing to take charge of the boat. To Gallwey's left is an unnamed sailor with another identifiable as Garrett Grenin. In the left foreground of the picture is the mainmast with three sailors to the right of it hauling on the clew lines. Beyond, silhouetted against the explosion, is the Vanguard's boat with two sailors in it, and below it are sailors swinging it out. Beyond these along the starboard gunwale of the waist are sailors and marines, mostly looking towards the explosion, but also the boatswain gesturing towards the boat and blowing his boatswain's call. Finally in the centre of the picture, to the left of Captain Berry, are Midshipman Francis Collier and Marine Anderson. Across the background can be seen the anchored ships of the opposing fleets, the British in quarter view, the French in starboard-bow view. The explosion is in the left background.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting captures the intense moment of Admiral Lord Nelson coming on deck at the Battle of the Nile on 1 August 1798. The artist, Daniel Orme, skillfully portrays the chaos and drama of this historic naval battle.
In the painting, Nelson is depicted standing on the quarter-deck of his ship, the 'Vanguard', with his head bandaged and his gaze fixed on the exploding French ship, 'L'Orient'. Despite his injuries, Nelson remains composed and in command as he gestures towards his crew to launch a boat to rescue survivors from the enemy vessel.
Captain Edward Berry stands beside Nelson, looking towards him with urgency in his expression. Other key figures such as Lieutenant John Adye and Midshipman Clement Ives are also present in the scene, each playing their part in this crucial moment of battle.
The background of the painting shows anchored ships from both fleets, adding depth and context to this pivotal historical event. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of movement and tension, drawing viewers into the heart of the action.
Overall, Orme's portrayal of Nelson at the Battle of Nile is a powerful tribute to one of Britain's greatest naval heroes and a reminder of his leadership and bravery in times of war.
