Literature: "The Sea Painter's World - the New Marine Art of Geoff Hunt" by Geoff Hunt, 2011, page 138

(Note: eleven of the paintings by Geoff Hunt featured in his new book were sold by or commissioned through Marine Artists)

This exceptional painting by Geoff Hunt depicts the culminating moment of a famous action sequence fromPatrick O'Brian's novel "HMS Surprise" when Captain Jack Aubrey throws theSurpriseacross the path of a line of French 74s led by theMarengo.

O'Brian based his long fictional action sequence on the famous historical action devised and fought by Commodore Nathaniel Dance of the Honourable East India Comapny on 14th February 1804 against the French Admiral Linois, who was in command of a very powerful squadron. Dance had no warships to defend his very valuable convoy but raised flags on his East Indiamen to indicate that they were Royal Navy ships and, forming a line of battle, took the fight to Linois, who was rattled and broke off action.
