Painting Description
The ''Portrait of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, Viscount Nelson (1758-1805)'' is a notable oil painting by the English artist Lemuel Francis Abbott. Created circa 1799, this work of art is one of the most iconic representations of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, one of Britain's most revered naval heroes. The portrait depicts Nelson as he appeared during the Napoleonic Wars, a period when he achieved several of his most famous naval victories, including the Battle of the Nile in 1798.
Lemuel Francis Abbott, known for his portraits of naval officers, captured Nelson in his Vice-Admiral's full-dress uniform, complete with the various medals and decorations he had earned throughout his career. Notably, the portrait features Nelson with his empty right sleeve pinned to his chest, a poignant reminder of the arm he lost at the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1797. The artist's attention to detail and the emotional resonance of the portrait have contributed to its status as an important historical document, as well as a work of art.
The portrait is celebrated for its historical significance and its role in shaping the visual legacy of Admiral Nelson. It has been widely reproduced and has become a symbol of British naval pride and the archetype of the war hero during the Age of Sail. The original painting is held in a prominent public collection, and it continues to attract scholarly attention and public interest for its artistic and cultural importance in British history.
