About the piece
Painted in 1880 by Hendrik Frans Schaefels, this work captures the visceral intensity of a naval battle. Schaefels utilizes a moody, tonal palette and vigorous brushwork to blend the sails and hulls of the great vessels into the thick smoke and churning waves, creating a sense of total immersion in the conflict.
