Description: | Signed: yes Description: According to the inscription, the Lucretia is commemorated leaving the Sicilian port of Messina, commanded by John Lovering. The vessel is clearly named both on its prow and on the flag flying from the central mast. It also flies the British Red Ensign, which was used by British merchant ships. Although this painting was signed 'Tavilla', which is probably an Italian surname, nothing is known about an artist of this name. The naivety of the depiction of the ship, which seems rather flat, points to this being the work of an amateur artist. | Subjects: | marine; place (Messina) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Tavilla, F.
