About the piece
Painted by Samuel Scott around 1745, this oil on canvas depicts the historic 1743 encounter where the HMS Centurion captured the Spanish galleon Nuestra Señora de Cavadonga. The work is a masterclass in maritime art, using billowing cannon smoke and atmospheric light to create a sense of scale and drama on the open ocean.
