Description: | The attribution to an artist named Delaplace is uncertain at best, as no signature may be found on the painting. The quality of the work is not very good, and the boat, as well as the execution, are close to B.M.778, which make it possible to assume that they were made by the same artist. The vessel appears to be a late sixteenth-century, or early/mid seventeenth-century galleon. As for B.M.778, the flag at the stern is not identifiable and may have been made up. The scene depicted may have been inspired by the sinking in bad weather of Spanish Armada vessels off the coast of Ireland after their defeat in the Channel in 1588. | Subjects: | marine | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Delaplace, Jacques (French artist, 1767-p.1831) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8971... | Go to resource |
