EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures the intense atmosphere of "The Encampment of the English Forces near Portsmouth during the Battle of the Solent". Created by James Basire in a stunning color lithograph, this artwork showcases a pivotal moment in naval history. The Battle of the Solent, which occurred on 18 and 19 July 1545, was fought between Francis I of France and Henry VIII of England. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Portsmouth's harbor, this engagement saw both fleets clash fiercely in the Solent channel off England's south coast. One notable event that unfolded during this battle was the sinking of the English carrack Mary Rose. As depicted in this print, it serves as a poignant reminder of both triumphs and tragedies experienced throughout history. Intriguingly detailed, this image also highlights King Henry VIII himself mounted on his horse as Master of Kings Horse. With Southsea Castle visible behind him and an English flag proudly waving nearby, he exudes authority amidst chaos. This print is part of a private collection but remains accessible to art enthusiasts worldwide through Fine Art Finder. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Tudor-era history while appreciating Basire's skillful interpretation.
