The Battle at La Hogue
£750The Battle at La Hogue
A large framed and mounted black line engraving by William Wollett afer the painting by Benjamin West showing the Anglo-Dutch naval victory at La Hogue off the coast of Normandy in 1692. " Standing in a boat at the left ... Vice Admiral George Rooke embodies heroic command with his upright posture and raised sword... Beached in the center distance is the French flagship, the Royal Sun. Actually burned and sunk a few days before this encounter, the Royal Sun is here deliberately refloated -- only to be run against the cliffs so that West might symbolize the French defeat."
