EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in American history - the first recognition of the Stars and Stripes. Painted by Edward Moran, it depicts John Paul Jones, commanding the Ranger, receiving the first officially recorded gun salute to the American flag by French Admiral La Motte Piquet at Quiberon Bay on 14th February 1778. The painting showcases a scene filled with respect and admiration for this newfound symbol of freedom. The ships in the background represent both American and French naval forces united in their fight for independence during the American Revolutionary War. The rowing boat in the foreground adds a sense of movement and urgency to this significant event. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to that pivotal moment when America's identity was solidified through its national flag. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich maritime heritage and its struggle for liberty. This image is not just about flags or war; it represents unity, courage, and determination. It reminds us that even in times of conflict, there can be moments of recognition and respect between nations. Edward Moran's skillful brushstrokes bring life to this historical scene, allowing us to witness firsthand an important chapter in US history. This print is more than just art; it is a visual testament to our country's journey towards independence and serves as an inspiration for future generations.
