About the piece
Painted by the renowned marine artist Dominic Serres in 1780, this work captures a naval squadron at anchor in the Cul de Sac, St. Lucia. The composition features meticulously detailed rigging and hull structures reflected in the glassy water, set against a backdrop of Caribbean hills and a luminous, expansive sky that occupies the upper half of the canvas.
