Sir Horatio Nelson Wounded at Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, July 24, 1797
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print depicting the renowned British naval hero, Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, moments after being wounded during the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The image, created by renowned English painter Richard Westall in 1891, was originally published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper." The print captures the intensity and chaos of naval warfare as Nelson, dressed in his full admiral's uniform, lies on the deck of a small boat, surrounded by concerned sailors. A red-coated British soldier holds a bandaged Nelson's leg, while other sailors attend to him, preparing to transport him back to safety. The print offers a rare glimpse into the personal side of a historical figure, showcasing the human cost of war. The Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, fought on July 24, 1797, was a significant engagement during the French Revolutionary Wars. Despite initially achieving a tactical victory, Nelson was ultimately forced to withdraw due to heavy casualties and the arrival of a larger French fleet. The print commemorates this pivotal moment in British naval history, highlighting the bravery and determination of Nelson and his men. Richard Westall, a prominent Victorian artist, expertly captured the emotion and drama of the scene, creating an enduring and powerful image that continues to captivate audiences today. The print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Horatio Nelson and the Royal Navy, and the indomitable spirit of the sailors who served under his command.
