EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful aquatint and etching print by George Webster depicts the dramatic moment of the blowing up of the French Commodore off the Island of Lissa in the Adriatic on March 13, 1811. The scene captures a fierce naval battle between His Majesty's Ships Amphion, Cerberus, Volage & Active and their French adversaries.
The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and destruction of war as flames engulf the enemy ship, sending billows of smoke into the air. The bravery and sacrifice of the officers, seamen, and marines involved in this intense confrontation are honored in this detailed representation.
As you gaze upon this historical artwork, you can almost hear the sounds of cannons firing and feel the tension in the air. It serves as a reminder of both the horrors and heroism that come with warfare at sea during this tumultuous period.
This print is not just a visual depiction but also a tribute to those who fought valiantly for their country on that fateful day. It stands as a testament to courage under fire and serves as a lasting memorial to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for King and country.
