About the piece
Painted in 1836 by celebrated marine artist George Chambers, this work commemorates the 1816 Bombardment of Algiers. The composition expertly balances the massive silhouettes of sailing warships against the atmospheric chaos of battle, with the central glow of an explosion illuminating thick clouds of smoke in a masterful display of light and shadow.
