About the piece
Created by Richard Westall in 1806, this energetic oil painting commemorates a 1777 boarding action involving a young Horatio Nelson. The work is defined by its masterful use of light and shadow, capturing the tension and movement of sailors in a small boat amidst the churning sea, with the future Admiral as the commanding focal point.
