Tenacious

Taken from the original painting used for the cover of the latest book in Julian Stockwin’s Kydd series, this brilliantly dramatic print shows Thomas Kydd at the climactic moment of the Battle of the Nile: – the cataclysmic destruction of L’Orient

Set in small italic titles below the image, the ships are identified. From left to right: Orion, Aquilon, ‘Tenacious’ (Leander), Swiftsure and L’Orient. Thomas Kydd is in the boat in the foreground. Julian Stockwin writes: “I think Geoff’s painting of L’Orient exploding at the Battle of the Nile, that graces the cover of TENACIOUS is to my mind one of the most evocative paintings I have ever viewed of a battle scene”.
