End of the Irish Invasion or the Destruction of the French Armada
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating vintage print by James Gillray, an esteemed engraver from London. Created in 1797, this engraved image depicts a dramatic scene during a storm at sea. French warships are being mercilessly tossed about, their destruction imminent. The heads of influential figures such as Pitt, Dundas, Grenville, and Windham emerge ominously from the clouds, seemingly orchestrating this chaos. At the forefront of this maritime turmoil is Le Revolutionaire with Charles Fox as its figurehead. However, it too suffers from a broken mast and flounders helplessly amidst the raging waves. The Revolutionary Jolly Boat faces an even grimmer fate as it becomes overwhelmed by water, causing Sheridan, Hall, Erskine, M. A. Taylor and Thelwall to be thrown overboard. This historic artwork showcases Gillray's exceptional illustrative technique and provides us with a glimpse into a significant period in history - when tensions between Ireland and France were high. With its retro-styled engravement and Victorian charm, this print evokes nostalgia for times long past. The Liszt Collection presents this exquisite piece not for commercial use but rather to celebrate our rich cultural heritage through art that transports us back to moments steeped in tradition and historical significance.
