A Calm by James Gillray is a notable satirical print created by the British caricaturist and printmaker in 1801. Known for his sharp wit and keen observation, Gillray's work often commented on political and social events of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In A Calm, Gillray departs from his usual subjects of British politics and society to offer a commentary on naval affairs. The print depicts a ship, emblematic of the British Royal Navy, becalmed and motionless on a placid sea, symbolizing a period of political or military inactivity. This work is interpreted as a critique of the British government's foreign policy, particularly its naval strategy during a lull in the Napoleonic Wars. The print showcases Gillray’s mastery in using visual metaphor and allegory to critique and convey complex political messages, making it an important piece in the study of British satirical art. A Calm is preserved and displayed in several art collections, including the British Museum, reflecting its significance in the canon of British art history.
