The Heavyweight Punch
Geoff Hunt's spectacular series of prints depicting some of Admiral Nelson's most famous commands. Four of the prints show HMS Victory in the dramatic build-up to the Battle of Trafalgar, including Geoff's latest: The Heavyweight Punch
Nelson's flagship leads the British Squadron in pursuit of Admiral Villeneuve in Victory on the Atlantic Chase. Soon after, on 21st October 1805 the decisive moment approaches as Victory Races Temeraire for the Enemy Line
Finally,Victory Breaks the Enemy Line - one of the most exciting paintings of the Battle ever made - shows the climactic moment as Nelson drives her into the French and Spanish line, her sails already rent by the unreturnable fire she endured during the long approach, and prepares to fire a devastating broadside into the stern of the French flagship Bucentaure.
