Shannon and Chesapeake off Boston, 1st June 1815 - Commissioned oil on canvas by Geoff Hunt RSMA.

Oil on linen canvas

Canvas size 20 x 30 inches.

Commissioned by Art Marine for an American client. This dramatic painting shows the moment when Chesapeake's headsail sheets were shot away, causing the ship to swing up slowly and head into the wind. The time is about 1800 hours.

"Just opened and viewed the painting for the first time. I think it is absolutely stunning.  Please pass my compliments on to Geoff. ...I've enjoyed our working relationship and look forward to another project someday..."
