"A Two-Decker on Fire at Night off a Fort" is a highly regarded 18th century maritime painting by English artist Charles Brooking. Born in 1723, Brooking was known for his detailed and atmospheric depictions of sea vessels and maritime activities. This particular artwork showcases a dramatic and kinetic night scene of a two-decker ship ablaze presumably following a battle, set against the backdrop of the sea a fortified structure visible in the distance.

This painting, like many of Brooking's works, displays the artist's mastery over light and shadow. The artist utilized luminous hues of yellow, orange, and red to depict the fire consuming the ship, illuminating the surrounding darkness, and reflecting on the rippled surface of the sea. The lone ship fire contrasts intriguingly with the serene moonlit sky, creating an atmosphere of calmness that belies underlying danger.

The fort in the background adds another layer of depth and narrative to the composition. Incorporating such coastal defenses was typical of maritime painters during this period, perfectly encapsulating the age of marine warfare that characterized the 18th Century.

While Brooking left a significant body of maritime work, he sadly died at the young age of 36. However, his paintings such as "A Two-Decker on Fire at Night off a Fort" remain as telling reminders of his artistic talent, contributing significantly to the world of maritime art in the 18th Century. His precise understanding of ship rigging and mastery over dramatic maritime scenes leave viewers with a profound sense of the powerful allure and inherent danger of the sea.
