About the piece
Painted by William Joy around 1830, this evocative oil on canvas depicts the HMS 'Clyde' during the Nore mutiny of 1797. The artist masterfully uses chiaroscuro to highlight the drama of the night escape, contrasting the deep, shadowy forms of the warships with a sudden burst of golden light across the water's surface.
