EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the "Capture of Porto Bello in 1739" by British Admiral Edward Vernon. Painted by Peter Monamy, this oil on canvas artwork measures 80x117 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The scene depicted showcases Admiral Vernon's impressive naval victory as he led a force of six ships, 2,735 men, and an arsenal of 370 cannons into the harbor on November 21st, 1739. The city surrendered to the English forces amidst fierce coastal battles in Panama's Portobelo region. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this painting transports viewers back to that significant day in history. It portrays the power and might of the British navy as they triumphantly secured control over Porto Bello. Set against a picturesque coastline backdrop along the Caribbean Sea, this artwork not only commemorates a pivotal military conquest but also highlights the beauty of Central America's maritime landscape. The composition skillfully combines elements such as ships sailing through clear blue waters with lush greenery adorning the shoreline. As we admire this remarkable piece from eRoyal Exchange Art Gallery at Cork Street in London, it serves as a reminder of both Britain's naval prowess during colonial times and their influence across American shores.
