"Ship dashed against ship till the Persian dead strewed the deep like flowers" is a notable work by the English artist and illustrator Walter Crane (1845–1915). This piece is one of Crane's contributions to the realm of fine art, diverging from his more widely recognized work in children's book illustrations and the decorative arts. The title of the painting is a line taken from the Greek historian Herodotus, describing the naval battle of Salamis in 480 BC, where the Greek fleet defeated the much larger Persian armada.

Walter Crane, a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement, was known for his commitment to the integration of art into everyday life and for his belief in the social and aesthetic importance of visually rich, accessible art. His work often carried a sense of romanticism and classical inspiration, which is evident in this historical painting. The scene captures the chaos and the violent beauty of the naval engagement, with the Persian ships depicted in a state of destruction, their dead crew members floating in the sea, metaphorically likened to flowers on the water's surface.

The painting stands as an example of Crane's mastery in handling historical subjects and his ability to convey the grandeur and tragedy of epic events. It reflects his skillful use of color and composition to evoke emotion and narrative depth. As with many of Crane's works, this painting is likely imbued with symbolic elements and may also reflect the artist's own political beliefs and his views on war and peace.

While the exact date of creation for "Ship dashed against ship till the Persian dead strewed the deep like flowers" is not readily available, it is representative of Crane's artistic output during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

It is a testament to Crane's versatility as an artist and his ability to move between different forms of visual expression, from book illustration to large-scale historical paintings.
