Note
The Battle of Cape St. Vincent, occurring on February 14th, 1797 off the coast of Portugal, involved the English and their Spanish opponents. The quote found on the canvas stretcher alludes to the English victory under John Jarvis, but specifically documents Horatio Nelson's bold move to pass quietly through the Spanish fleet and "wear ship," which allowed him to take command of Spanish vessels.
Provenance
The Parker Gallery, London, United Kingdom
Property of a Florida gentleman, formerly of Glen Cree, Kennebunkport, Maine
The consignor's colonial style home, Glen Cree, was featured in the magazine Colonial Homes, November-December 1985, and much of the collection was photographed.
