About the piece
Painted by Thomas Whitcombe around the time of the event, this work depicts the historic Battle of the Nile in 1798. The composition highlights the intricate rigging and flags of the fleets amidst the haze of cannon fire, rendered with a sophisticated use of atmospheric light and maritime detail characteristic of late 18th-century British naval art.
