Created in the mid-19th century, this work captures a significant historical event during the Crimean War, specifically the departure of the Baltic Fleet from Spithead, an anchorage near Portsmouth, England, on March 15, 1854. The fleet's mission was to blockade the Russian Baltic ports, a strategic move aimed at crippling the Russian navy and economy.

Anton Melbye, born in 1818, was renowned for his maritime scenes, which often depicted naval vessels and seascapes with a high degree of realism and attention to detail. His works are characterized by their dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as their dynamic compositions, which convey the power and majesty of the sea. Melbye's background as a sailor provided him with firsthand experience and a deep understanding of maritime subjects, which he skillfully translated into his art.

In "The Baltic Fleet Leaving Spithead 15th March 1854," Melbye masterfully portrays the fleet's departure under a brooding sky, with ships of various sizes and types navigating the choppy waters.

The artist's use of light highlights the ships' sails and rigging, creating a striking contrast against the dark, turbulent sea and sky.
