The Admirals Ghost
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases an oil painting by Newell Convers Wyeth, dating back to 1939. This masterpiece, created on a Renaissance panel, measures 63.5x86.4 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Childrens Literature Research Collection. The image depicts the ethereal figure of Admiral Nelson, a renowned hero from British naval history. With one arm raised and clad in his military attire, he stands proudly on the deck of a ship amidst billowing clouds and seagulls soaring above him. The supernatural aura surrounding him adds an air of mystery to this haunting portrayal. This artwork was inspired by Alfred Noyes' poem "The Admirals Ghost" which can be found in his Collected Poems anthology featured in children's literature. It beautifully captures the spirit of Admiral Nelson as he transcends death and continues to inspire generations with his bravery and leadership. Wyeth's skillful brushwork brings this historical moment to life, evoking emotions through vivid colors and meticulous details. The painting pays homage to Nelson's heroic legacy during the Napoleonic era while also highlighting his iconic eye patch. "The Admirals Ghost" serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit that resides within us all, even long after we have departed this earthly realm. It immortalizes not only an esteemed military commander but also celebrates the power of literature and art to transcend time itself.
