EDITORS COMMENTS
Horatio, Lord Nelson: A Historical Portrait Sketched in Naples in 1797 This evocative pencil sketch captures the likeness of Horatio, Lord Nelson, a British naval hero, during his time in Naples in 1797. The image, titled "Horatio, Lord Nelson sketched at Napoli in 1797," offers a glimpse into the past, providing a personal and intimate view of one of history's most celebrated figures. Born on September 29, 1758, in Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, England, Nelson rose to prominence during the late 18th and early 19th centuries as a naval commander in the Royal Navy. Known for his daring tactics and strategic brilliance, Nelson played a pivotal role in several major naval battles, including the Battle of the Nile in 1798 and the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The sketch was created during a significant period in Nelson's life, following his victory at the Battle of Cape St. Vincent in January 1797. Having been wounded in the battle, Nelson was sent to Naples to recuperate. During his stay, he was feted by the Neapolitan court and became involved in the political intrigues of the time. This exquisite drawing, created in 1805, provides a fascinating insight into Nelson's appearance during this period. The profile view allows us to study the distinctive features of his face, from the prominent nose to the intense gaze that seems to pierce through the paper. The pencil medium captures the subtle textures of Nelson's clothing, from the folds of his coat to the intricate details of his hat. As we gaze upon this historical portrait, we are transported back in time, offering us a rare opportunity to connect with a man who played a crucial role in shaping the course of history. The sketch serves as a poignant reminder of Nelson's enduring legacy and the indelible mark he left on the world.
