"Mars at Trafalgar"

-- GEOFF HUNT, P.P.R.S.M.A. (British, Contemporary)

 

Oil on Linen Canvas

The third ship into action at Trafalgar, the 74-gun Mars reached the enemy line at about 12.20. Captain Duff was confronted with a bunched collection of ships, his immediate opponent being the Pluton, also 74 guns, under the command of the highly capable Commodore Cosmao-Kerjulien. Mars swung to port in order to begin a classic gunnery duel with the Pluton, the moment depicted in both these sketches. Unfortunately this move misfired, since Captain Duff then saw that the Spanish 3-decker Santa Anna was right in front of him, and so swung further up into the wind to avoid collision. Cosmao-Kerjulien seized this opportunity to rake the Mars from astern, as did the Spanish Monarca; these broadsides not only killed Captain Duff but destroyed essential elements of Mars's running rigging, rendering the ship unmanoeuverable and exposing her to much further punishment. Some time later, no less a figure than Admiral Villeneuve somehow finished up aboard Mars, having surrendered to a Captain of Marines originally sent from the Conqueror.  Geoff Hunt, 2008

In this painting we have the view from within the Franco-Spanish line. Ships from left to
right are the Spanish Monarca, Pluton, Mars, the British next in line, Tonnant, and in the foreground the French Fougueux, heavily engaged on her port side with the Belleisle.

"The action between the British frigates Indefatigable (Captain Pellew) and Amazon and the French 74-gun Droits de l'Homme, 1797"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

The painting shows the early stages of the action; late afternoon, wild weather and snow in the air were recorded.  From left to right we see AmazonDroits de l’Homme and Indefatigable. The ships manoeuvred in such close order that Indefatigable felt herself in danger at one point of being run down by the French ship. 

Droits de l’Homme is seen here with her masts and rigging still generally intact but a little later in the action she lost her fore-topmast and her main-topmast.  Droits de l’Homme was a full two-decker 74-gun ship but the heavy weather in which this action took place made it impossible for her to open her lower deck gun ports.  It can be seen clearly in the painting that all her lower gun ports are closed.

"An action between a British frigate and an Arab dhow"

-- GEOFFREY HUBAND (British, born 1945)

 

This magnificent, large painting was commissioned by a client who has spent much of his career in the Middle East and who wanted a picture of an action between a medium-sized British frigate and an Arab dhow of the type used to such effect by the Barbary Coast pirates - detail shown.

It is one of Geoffrey Huband's most sucessful depictions of action with an overwhelming sense of speed and movement combined with minute detail of men and rigging.

The beautiful Amphion is seen ghosting out of Valletta harbour at dawn, passing Fort St. Elmo. She carries Lord Nelson as a passenger and therefore wears his flag.  This is one of Geoff Hunt’s most poetic and atmospheric paintings; the dawn light and reflections in the water are rendered superbly. As the delighted client who commissioned the work put it “one can sense the expectation of a journey commenced”.
