This band of brothers, through their artistic and entrepreneurial efforts, established the images of the war at sea that were central to the understanding their contemporaries had of events - images that endure to this day. In this unprecedented book, Nicholas Tracy reveals the importance of the self-employed artist to the study of a nation at war. He includes lively accounts of serving officers, retired sailors, and academy-trained artists who, often under the threat of debtor's prison, struggled to balance the standards of art with the public desire for heroic, reassuring images. Containing over eighty illustrations, Britannia's Palette explores a varied and exciting collection of paintings that reveal the poignancy of the human experience of war.First Coalition, War of the, 1792-1797Art and the warMarine painting, British18th centuryMarine painting, British19th centuryNapoleonic Wars, 1800-1815Art and the warsNaval battles in artSecond Coalition, War of the, 1798-1801Art and the warWar artistsGreat BritainBiographyFirst Coalition, War of the, 1792-1797Marine painting, BritishMarine painting, BritishNapoleonic Wars, 1800-1815Naval battles in art.Second Coalition, War of the, 1798-1801War artists758/.99402745355.49zTracy Nicholas1944-1511004MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789836703321Britannia's palette3744029UNINA
