EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic ships, HMS Resolution and Adventure, sailing through the Long Reach in 1772. Painted by Francis Holman, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 86.8x147.2 cm and is currently housed in the Dixson Galleries at the State Library of New South Wales. The image takes us back to a significant moment in history when Captain Cook embarked on his renowned voyage of exploration and discovery. These two British vessels played a pivotal role in Cook's journey as he charted new territories and expanded colonial influence across Australia. The painting beautifully captures the essence of Georgian-era seafaring with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The calm seascape serves as a backdrop for these majestic ships that symbolize not only transportation but also navigation into uncharted waters. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to a time when adventure beckoned sailors like never before. It reminds us of the bravery and determination exhibited by explorers who sought to unravel mysteries beyond their known world. This print is not just an exquisite piece of art; it represents a significant chapter in Australian history – one that shaped its future as a nation born out of colonization. Let this image serve as a reminder of our past, urging us to appreciate both the beauty found within artistic expressions and the stories they tell about our collective human experience.
