Napoleonic Naval art prints of Admiral Nelson's
Victory at Trafalgar and earlier victory at the battle of the Nile.
These superb paintings by Ivan Berryman are available as Giclee canvas prints
and art paper prints. The Battle of Trafalgar
One of the most decisive battles in
the history of the Royal Navy, Nelson's defeat of the French fleet took
place on 21st October 1805 off Cape Trafalgar and was conducted with not
a single British ship lost, although few ships escaped severe punishment
and loss of life on both sides was tragically high. In Ivan's painting, the flagship HMS
Victory finally disengages from the wrecked Redoubtable, while the
Temeraire, having broken from La Fougueux, remains locked with the
French ship. At one point, all four ships had been on board of each
other in line abreast, each firing broadside after broadside into each
other. To the right of the painting, the French Bucentaure lies
helpless, her vulnerable stern having been smashed by Victory's
relentless gunfire. also paintings including
Admiral Collingwoods' first engagement at midday, 21st October
1805, and Admiral Collingwood's flagship, the 100-gun Royal sovereign,
breaks the allied line and delivers a shattering broadside on the
black-painted Santa Ana carrying the flag of Spain's Vice Admiral Alava.
Making great speed, Collingwood's ship had breached the Franco-Spanish
line some distance ahead of the rest of his van and the Royal Sovereign
suffered heavily as she quickly drew the attentions of three French and
three Spanish ships. To her starboard, the French Indomptable can be
seen raking the British flagship while, astern of the Santa Ana,
Belleisle and Fougueux are engaging ahead of Mars, Monarca and Pluton.
The Battle of the Nile, 1798 - The Burning of L Orient by Ivan
Berryman.Nelsons annihilation of the French Fleet at Aboukir Bay was complete,
but for the escape of Admiral Villeneuve who would again confront his
nemesis just seven years later at Trafalgar. Doubled by the
British ships and ravaged by their relentless gunnery, the French faced
utter defeat as the battle raged into the night. At the centre of the
French line lay the massive three decker L Orient. The British
Alexander positioned herself astern of L Orient and began to fire
mercilessly into her fragile stern galleries. Within a short time,
a terrible fire started that raged through her hull, eventually reaching
her powder magazine, causing a massive explosion that literally blew L
Orient to pieces. In this scene, shortly before the explosion,
Alexander can be seen astern of the burning L Orient, minus her maintop,
and trying to move away in the intense heat. To her port, the
British Majestic is also starting to slip away while, in the foreground,
the French Franklin is ablaze and threatened with being caught in the
imminent blast. At the extreme right of the picture, crews are
racing to remove sails from the British Orion to lessen the risk of fire
in the event of L Orients spectacular demise.

The Battle of Trafalgar, 2.30pm. The Taking of the Santisima
Trinidad by Ivan BerrymanDominating the centre foreground, the
wreck of the largest ship at Trafalgar, the massive four decker Santisima
Trinidad (130 guns), comes under further attack from the British Neptune
(98 guns). All her masts have fallen, rendering the Spanish giant an
unmanageable hulk. Elsewhere, the battle rages on with Temeraire and
Victory engaged with the French Redoubtable, while to the right of the
picture, the shattered, drifting remains of Villeneuves Bucentaure (80
guns) is approached by the Mars (74 guns). Conqueror (74 guns), off
the Santisima Trinidads port quarter, is keeping up a distant fire to
assist the Neptune.

The Brave Redoutable by Ivan Berryman.
Already
ravaged by incoming shot from the combined French and Spanish fleets as
she approached the enemy line, HMS Victory found herself under intense
attack from the French 3rd Rate 74-gun Redoutable. The two ships
became entangled, grappling irons went across and the most terrible
artillery battle commenced. Admiral Lord Nelson was fatally
wounded by a shot from the Redoutables mizzen top before it was brought
crashing down. Now the British three-decker, the 98-gun Temeraire
appeared outboard of the Redoutable and began pouring further shot into
her, the little French ship dwarfed by two mighty British vessels.
But still she fought on, refusing to strike her colours. Of all
the ships at Trafalgar, Redoutable sustained the highest casualties with
478 killed and 81 wounded. Depicted from left to right are HMS
Temeraire, Redoutable and HMS Victory. Battle of the Nile

The Battle of Trafalgar
- The First Engagement by Ivan Berryman Midday, 21st October
1805, and Admiral Collingwood's flagship, the 100-gun Royal sovereign,
breaks the allied line and delivers a shattering broadside on the
black-painted Santa Ana carrying the flag of Spain's Vice Admiral Alava.
Making great speed, Collingwood's ship had breached the Franco-Spanish

The Battle of Trafalgar, 1.00pm by Ivan Berryman Having taken
terrible punishment from the guns of the allied French and Spanish fleet
as she broke through the line, HMS Victory found herself engaged by the
French Redoutable, a bitter battle that saw the two ships locked together,
pouring shot into one another with terrifying ferocity and which left the
British Admiral, Lord Horation Nelson fatally wounded. In the
background, HMS Neptune is emerging through the gunsmoke and is about to
pass the wreck of the French flagship Bucentaure which Victory so
spectacularly routed as she passed through the allied line. HMS
Temeraire, which followed Victory through, and which was also to become
embroiled on the Redoutables fight, is obscured by the smoke beyond the
British flagship.
Trafalgar
Aftermath by Ivan Berryman Jury
rigged and battered by the relentless gunnery of the French and Spanish
fleets at Trafalgar, HMS Victory lies off the coast of Gibraltar as
crews from HMS Neptune (nearest) are dispatched to take over the tow
from the Polyphemus for the final leg of their journey to relative
safety, the flagship still bearing the body of Admiral Lord Horatio
Nelson
Trafalgar- The Destruction of The Bucentaure by Ivan Berryman
With her mizzen top
already gone and her sails aloft having received severe punishment,
Victory breaks through the line behind the French flagship Bucentaure,
delivering a shattering broadside into her stern. So severe was
this opening fire that the Bucentaure was effectively put out of the
rest of the battle, although Admiral Villeneuve himself was to
miraculously survive the carnage. Beyong Victory can be seen the
French Redoubtable, which is receiving fire from Victory's starboard
guns, and the Spanish San Leandro is in the extreme distance. Most
of Victory's stunsails have been cut away, but it was her stunsail booms
that became entangled with the rigging of the Redoubtable when she put
her helm to port and ran onto her. Admiral Nelson fell shortly
afterward, having received a fatal wound from a musket ball fired by a
French sharpshooter in Redoubtable's mizzen fighting top. The
Temeraire can be seen approaching the fray to the right.

Prelude to Trafalgar by Ivan
Berryman 21st October 1805. As Admiral Nelson's
flagship leads the British fleet toward the Franco-Spanish line, Captain
Harvey's Temeraire tries to pass Victory in order to be the first to
break the enemy column. Harvey was discouraged with a customary
rebuke from Nelson and duly fell into line behind the flagship.
The enemy can be seen spread along the horizon whilst, to the right in
the distance, the leading ships of Admiral Collingwood's fleet can be
seen spearheading a separate assault to the south. HMS Captain at the Battle of Cape St
Vincent by
Ivan Berryman Viewed across the damaged stern of the 80-gun San Nicholas, Nelson
drives HMS Captain onto the Spanish vessel in order that she can be
boarded and taken as a prize, the British marines and men scrambling up
the Captains bowsprit to use it as a bridge. The San Nicholas then
fouled the Spanish three decker San Joseph (112), allowing Nelson and his
men to take both ships as prizes in a single manoeuvre. A British
frigate is moving into a supporting position in the middle distance.

| ARTIST | Featured Artist - Gerald Coulson
Gerald Coulson has been painting professionally for over 30 years and has a reputation that is second to none. Entirely self taught, he developed his technique to such a high standard that his work was published as fine art prints, enabling him to begin a full time painting career in 1969. Since that time his work, covering many different subjects, has been published and marketed worldwide as both open and limited edition prints. Gerald has had many one-man shows both in the UK and the USA and his work has been extensively exhibited throughout the world. A recent one man show of his in the UK attracted more than 3000 people in two days. The Fine Art Trade Guild have placed him in the top ten best selling artists no less than fifteen times - three times at number one. Coulson's passion for aircraft stems from childhood. This passion led to an apprenticeship as an aircraft engineer after which he served in the RAF as a technician and with British Airways as an engineer at Heathrow. His knowledge of aircraft engineering, combined with his drawing ability, led to him becoming a Technical Illustrator of service manuals for Civil and Military aircraft. These experiences and technical background have allowed him an insight and intimate knowledge of the aircraft he paints. Along with a unique ability to capture these aircraft on canvas this naturally led to a painting career which he has developed to successfully cover a wide variety of subjects. Following a trip to the 1991 British Grand Prix his interest in Motor racing was fuelled. His ability to capture the technical detail and a talent for painting subjects at speed meant that this was a perfect natural progression alongside his aviation work and he is now also firmly established as one of the worlds leading motor racing artists. A Vice President and founder member of the Guild of Aviation Artists he is a four times winner of the Flight International Trophy for outstanding aviation painting. He qualified for his pilots licence in 1960 and is still actively flying today - mostly vintage aircraft, and can often be seen buzzing over the Fens of Cambridgeshire in a Tiger Moth. Whatever the subject he paints, whether aviation, landscape or portrait, his unique ability to capture the realism and 'mood'of the scene is unsurpassed, making him one of the most widely collected and highly regarded artists in the world today. |
