About the piece
Created by renowned marine artist Nicholas Pocock in 1801, this oil on canvas depicts a pivotal moment from the Battle of Cape St Vincent in 1797. The composition masterfully portrays the power and scale of the ships of the line, their sails torn and masts engaged, set against a vast, atmospheric sky and churning waves.
