EDITORS COMMENTS
'There's plenty of time to win this game and thrash the Spaniards too', painted by Frank Moss Bennett in 1944, captures a moment of historical folklore surrounding Sir Francis Drake. The painting depicts an apocryphal anecdote of Drake playing bowls on Plymouth Hoe while the Spanish Armada approached. In this scene, Drake exudes confidence and determination as he leisurely enjoys his game, seemingly unfazed by the imminent threat.
Drake, a renowned explorer and sea captain during the Elizabethan era, is portrayed here as a symbol of English resilience and defiance against foreign invaders. His calm demeanor in the face of danger reflects the spirit of patriotism and courage that defined his character.
The composition of the painting is rich in detail, from the intricate costumes worn by Drake and his companions to the majestic ships approaching in the background. The use of vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes adds depth and movement to the scene, creating a sense of urgency and anticipation.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history when England stood united against its enemies. 'There's plenty of time to win this game' serves as a reminder that with unwavering determination and unity, victory can be achieved even in the most challenging circumstances.
