About the piece
Painted around 1850 by Samuel Walters, this dramatic oil on canvas depicts the historic rescue of the 'Ocean Monarch'. The composition expertly balances the terrifying sight of the burning vessel with the heroic efforts of the Brazilian Frigate Alfonzo and nearby lifeboats, all set against a backdrop of turbulent waves and a smoke-filled sky.
