EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of the "Destruction of the French Fleet at Toulon" on December 18th, 1793. Engraved by Thomas Sutherland for J. Jenkinss Naval Achievements in 1816, this historical artwork showcases the intense battle that took place during the Revolutionary Wars. Under a moonlit sky, a fleet of ships led by Admiral Hood engages in fierce combat with their French counterparts. The chaotic scene is filled with explosions and billowing smoke as cannons roar and muskets fire. The artist, Thomas Whitcombe, skillfully portrays the chaos and destruction of war through his intricate engravings. The significance of this event lies not only in its portrayal but also in its historical context. The Battle of Toulon was a pivotal moment during the Revolutionary Wars when British forces successfully prevented France from regaining control over their naval base at Toulon. This particular print is part of The Stapleton Collection and is held within a private collection today. Its presence serves as a reminder of our shared history and honors those who fought bravely during this tumultuous period. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this engraving and gain insight into an important chapter in naval warfare history.
