Description: | John Seymour Lucas (1849-1923), a minor Victorian painter, specialized in painting scenes from English history, often from the 17th century. In the first Anglo-Dutch war the Dutch admiral Maarten van Tromp hoisted a broom onto his mast to symbolize sweeping the English from the sea at Dungeness. William Blake, his English opponent, raised a horse whip onto his mast to symbolize his intention to return the favour. This picture presumably shows a determined-looking Blake commissioning a new warship to carry out his revenge. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | interior model communication ship fine art architecture table quill heraldry people John Seymour Lucas drawing ink Maarten van Tromp plan transport coat of arms book costume William Blake crest light globe | Temporal: | start=1935-01-01; end=1936-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Huntley, Boorne & Stevens | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
