The following year he held an exhibition in San Francisco which also sold out to great critical acclaim and, since then, Steven Dews has continued exhibiting regularly at leading galleries in London and throughout the world. He is now commissioned for several years in advance.\n\u003cbr\u003eConfirmation of his pre-eminence came in the Sotheby's sale of Maritime Art in London on April 28th 1999, where his original painting, entitled \"Off Cowes\", sold for the phenomenal price of £89,500 ($165,000). This result followed on quickly from the sale at auction in 1998 of the painting \"An Opportune Breeze from the South East\" for £52,800.\n\u003cbr\u003eAlmost fifty Steven Dews limited editions have now been published, most of which have long been sold out, and his work is avidly collected around the world.

Prussia and Russia. Their aims were to trade with France and this was contrary to British interests in her war with France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe British fleet arrived off a heavily-fortified Copenhagen, where the Danish-Norwegian fleet was anchored. It was necessary to take action before the Russian fleet could leave its ice-bound ports and reinforce the Danes and Admiral Parker gave Nelson command of a force of twelve ships of the line, and other, smaller ships, consisting of the vessels with the shallowest drafts.With these, Nelson was to attack along the shallow King's Channel in front of Copenhagen and Nelson transferred his flag from the 98-gun \u003cem\u003eSt. George\u003c\/em\u003e to the shallower 74-gun HMS\u003cem\u003eElephant\u003c\/em\u003e to lead the attack\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe battle, which commenced around 10 a.m., developed into a brutal slogging match between the British ships and the heavy guns of the Danish fixed and floating batteries and the guns of their ships, which were gallantly fought. A truce in late afternoon ended the day with the British objective achieved; some feel that it was a relief to the British fleet which had had several ships run aground or disabled by the Danish guns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, the battle is best remembered for Nelson turning his blind eye to Admiral Parker's signal to withdraw, which was given around 1.30 when the battle was raging and Parker could see little of its progress through the gun smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is thought that Parker maintained he gave the recall signal only to give Nelson the excuse to withdraw if things were going badly (Nelson could not have withdrawn without orders), making the assumption that Nelson would ignore the signal and continue the action if he was able to. Whatever the motive - and some British ships did obey the signal and withdraw - Parker's reputation was irreparably damaged after Copenhagen, although he received some faint praise from Nelson, who succeeded him in command.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STEVEN DEWS (British, born 1949)","offers":[{"title":"Ltd.
