THE STAR OF THE COMBAT ZONE, CAIT!
Ain’t she just a demon in the ring
The Battle of Trafalgar, as Seen from the Mizen Starboard Shrouds of the Victory
Artist: Joseph Mallord William Turner R.A. (English, 1775-1851),
Date: 1806-1808
Medium: Oil paint on canvas
Collection: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom
Description
This painting was praised as the first ‘British epic picture’ because it combines key moments of the Battle of Trafalgar (21 October 1805) in one composition. At bottom left British naval leader Horatio Nelson collapses on the Victory’s deck, shot by a French sniper seen high up in the right-hand ship’s crows’ nest. French flags are lowered, conceding defeat. These moments are set within a wider view of the claustrophobic, smoke-filled combat zone. Trafalgar was a bittersweet moment for Britain. Celebration of victory over the French and Spanish navies mixed with grief over the death of naval hero Nelson.
