Painting Description
The engraving "His Majesty's Sloop, Bonne Citoyenne, taking the French frigate, La Furieuse, in tow after the action of 6th July 1809" is a notable historical artwork created by the engraving duo R & D Havell and published by Robert Cribb in 1810. The piece was designed by George Webster, an artist known for his detailed maritime scenes. This engraving captures a significant naval engagement during the Napoleonic Wars, specifically the action that took place on July 6, 1809, between the British Royal Navy and the French Navy.
The scene depicted in the engraving shows the aftermath of a fierce battle in which His Majesty's Sloop, Bonne Citoyenne, successfully captured the French frigate, La Furieuse. The Bonne Citoyenne, under the command of Captain William Mounsey, engaged La Furieuse, commanded by Captain Beaulieu-Leloup, in a prolonged and intense combat. Despite being outgunned, the Bonne Citoyenne managed to outmaneuver and overpower the French vessel, leading to its eventual surrender.
The engraving meticulously illustrates the moment when the British sloop takes the damaged French frigate in tow, symbolizing the triumph of the Royal Navy. The attention to detail in the depiction of the ships, the turbulent sea, and the dramatic sky adds to the historical and artistic value of the piece. The work not only serves as a visual record of the event but also as a testament to the skill and bravery of the sailors involved in the engagement.
R & D Havell, the engravers, were renowned for their precision and ability to bring dynamic scenes to life, and this piece is no exception. Their collaboration with George Webster and publisher Robert Cribb resulted in a work that has been appreciated by historians and art enthusiasts alike for its historical accuracy and artistic merit. The engraving remains an important artifact that offers insight into naval warfare during the early 19th century and the broader context of the Napoleonic Wars.
