With masterly understatement Geoff Hunt describes his painting as showing "An exceptionally interesting collection of vessels in San Fiorenzo Bay, Corsica, on the evening of 11th June 1796."

He goes on to elaborate: "On that day Commodore Nelson transferred his flag from Agamemnon, 64 guns, (right) to the Captain, 74 (left). Also present were the captured ex-French l’Unité (later to be renamed Surprise), foreground, on the second day of her first commission as a Royal Naval ship; Princess Royal, 98, flagship of Vice-Admiral Linzee; and the ubiquitous little brig Speedy, 14, just coming into the bay.

Framing

PRINTS & PAINTINGS ON PAPER 

We use a simple classic frame, gold finish over a black ground, approximately 1 3/4 inches (4.4 cm) in width with off-white acid-free mount 2 1/2 to 3 inches (6.5 - 7.5 cm) wide. Pictures are framed under glass and fitted with wire ready for hanging.

For larger pictures that are to be shipped we can use perspex instead of glass for security in transit - we may contact you to discuss this. Frame example shown above. 

PRINTS & PAINTINGS ON CANVAS

For pictures on canvas we use a simple classic frame with a gold finish and a white slip next to the canvas, approximately 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) in width. Pictures are framed like an oil painting with no glass and fitted with wire ready for hanging. Frame example shown above.
