Painting Description
"The Battle of the Nile: Attack at Sunset; At 10 O'clock at Night; Near Midnight; and on the Ensuing Morning" is a series of four paintings by the British marine painter Robert Dodd. Created in the late 18th century, these works depict the various stages of the Battle of the Nile, also known as the Battle of Aboukir Bay, which was a significant naval engagement during the French Revolutionary Wars. The battle took place on August 1, 1798, and was a decisive victory for the British Royal Navy, commanded by Rear-Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson, over the French fleet under Vice-Admiral François-Paul Brueys d'Aigalliers.
Dodd's paintings capture the drama and intensity of the battle at different times of day and night, providing a visual narrative of the unfolding events. The first painting, "Attack at Sunset," sets the scene with the British fleet approaching the French line as the sun dips below the horizon. "At 10 O'clock at Night" shows the fierce combat under the cover of darkness, with the ships illuminated by the flashes of their guns. "Near Midnight" continues to portray the nocturnal battle, highlighting the chaos and confusion that reigned. The final painting, "And on the Ensuing Morning," depicts the aftermath of the battle, with the British fleet having secured a decisive victory.
Robert Dodd (1748–1815) was a renowned maritime artist of his time, known for his detailed and accurate representations of naval battles and ship portraits. His works serve as important historical records of naval warfare and are valued for their artistic merit as well as their documentary significance. The Battle of the Nile series is considered one of his major contributions to British maritime art and reflects the patriotic fervor and interest in naval heroism that characterized the era.
These paintings not only commemorate a pivotal moment in British naval history but also exemplify the skill and dedication of Robert Dodd as an artist who sought to capture the essence of naval engagements. The series is an invaluable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering insight into the naval tactics, ship design, and the atmosphere of battle during the Age of Sail.
