THE Crucial MOMENTS From the BATTLE:
The focus of Steven Dews? outstanding painting may be the moment at which Victory (centre) flanked by the Temeraire (far right), broke by means of the enemy lines, sustaining and exchanging a extreme pounding as she passed Villeneuve?s French flagship Bucentaure (left), shown sailing out of your image. This was just just before a musket shot from Redoutable (stern just visible to Victory?s suitable) that hit Nelson and from which he would die four hours later, at the moment of his greatest victory.
Trafalgar was the greatest battle in the age of fighting sail and marked a key turning point in Napoleon?s campaign to secure European domination. Napoleon?s armies may perhaps have already been all-conquering however the British had mastery from the seas. On October 21st 1805, the combined fleet of 33 French and Spanish ships, beneath the command of your French Admiral Villeneuve, was confronted by a fleet of 27 ships with the Royal Navy, led by Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson on board the Victory, off Cape Trafalgar around the Spanish coast. In lieu of fight broadside-to-broadside in two long lines, Nelson?s uncommon plan was to attack the French and Spanish line in two columns from the west and hope to break straight through the centre, proficiently dividing the French fleet and bringing the British into close action, exactly where their encounter and superior gunnery would prevail.

For those who decide to hang them close to the Dews print, they really should probably be framed in a colour and style to complement the frame around the Dews (we recommend the Dews is framed in gold, the darker and redder the improved; and it must be hung with plenty of light on it, even though direct sunlight should really be avoided).
- Nelson?s Favourite Portrait of Himself ? that?s what the history books record of this portrait by Simon de Koster, completed sometime in between 1798 and 1801. De Koster sketched Nelson once they had been each guests at a dinner celebration and Nelson apparently prized it above all other likenesses ? showing he was not a vain man. Through the Trafalgar 200 celebrations this year it was uncanny to hold this picture up in our gallery beside a young woman who was one thing just like the great-great-great-great niece of Nelson, along with the likeness was uncanny. We propose framing this inside a circular mount.
- HMS Victory 1805 by A.B. Cull (1880-1931), a charming image from the ship as she was inside the year of Trafalgar, in wash, ink and chalk.
- Trafalgar Battle Plan, a common print from about 1812 which we have reproduced. This reveals the state from the battle a number of minutes ahead of the scene within your Steven Dews picture. HMS Victory followed by the ?fighting? HMS Temeraire is in the head of the left-hand column of British ships, which had been sailing for some considerable time in to the teeth of your French and Spanish broadsides with no having the ability to fire back ? hence the holes in the sails within the Dews picture. In the French line, Just to the proper of where HMS Victory?s column is aiming, may be the French flagship Bucentaure, and behind it the Redoutable. By the time we reach the moment of Steven Dews? picture, HMS Victory has reduce in amongst them and is delivering a devastating broadside in to the stern and down the length of Bucentaure. Minutes later, a shot from higher up on Redoubtable (behind HMS Victory in the Dews picture) strikes down Lord Nelson using a fatal wound. HMS Temeraire fills the ideal foreground of the Dews picture.
